Amelia's Dance was only third off this mark when bidding for a course and distance hat-trick last month but Confirmation Bias could be well treated back over hurdles. Sarceaux beat Saturday’s Hereford winner Lime Drop at Kempton but is still receiving weight all round but French import Grizzly James is proving a disappointment. Super Six shoulders top weight on his handicap debut but he’ll strip fitter for a run at Chepstow. Mister Splash is another with scope but DIBBLE DECKER was a little unlucky to be caught close home at Warwick after a wide-margin win at Huntingdon and is worth sticking with.
Super Six 7-2 (11-8) Tracked leaders, went 2nd after 5th, ridden and lost 2nd before 2 out, hung left and well beaten 3rd when not fluent last, weakened into 5th flat, 5th of 12, 19 3/4l behind Current Mood (11-5) at Chepstow 2m (4) sft in Feb.

Grizzly James (FR) 8-1 (10-11) Mid division, headway to go 2nd home turn, soon outpaced and weakened 2 out, 7th of 10, 35 1/4l behind Red Risk (11-12) at Uttoxeter 2m 4f hcp (3) sft in Feb.
