All of UDONTDODOU's three runs have been on ground with plenty of give and he was only caught in the closing stages over 6f at Doncaster in November. He has a smart pedigree and can be expected to make progress this year. Sunnyside Bob was narrowly beaten at Musselburgh and Wolverhampton in October and should be up to winning a little race somewhere while the four-year-old Springtime Winnie dropped back to this trip for the first time at Catterick and showed her first sign of ability. David Barron's newcomer Evenlode is related to plenty of winners and wouldn't need to be anything special to make a successful debut.
