STOW's defeat of Ski Sunday over 2m4f at Ffos Las in December is easily the best recent form on offer but it would have to be a worry that he got outpaced over this shorter trip at Ludlow next time, albeit in better company. We'll still take Rebecca Curtis' charge to come out on top, however, as he gets 12lb from December's Hereford winner Not Til Monday and Westlin' Winds if taking into account Patrick Corbett's claim. Get It On appears in a seller for the first time and is another with form at a much higher level but, though he often travels well in his races, is a weak finisher and one to be wary of.
