LIGHTLY SQUEEZE (NAP) arrives with a penalty for an easy victory on testing ground at Wincanton on Boxing Day and is likely to go up by more than the 7lb extra he carries here. His rider reduces the burden by 3lb and a quick double looks on the cards. Twenty Twenty has been in good form though has been beaten three times off lower marks since his last victory. Starsky looked a likely future winner following a good run at Huntingdon but ran poorly at Exeter earlier this month while the maiden Miss Gemstone hasn't proved she stays this far in the conditions. Lets Go Dutchess is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and she'll be better for a recent run after a very long lay-off.
