Exmoor Mist doubled up at Leicester and Newbury in December but is looking a shade high in the weights now having gone up a further 5lb since his latest second at the latter track. The Brock Again finished last when odds-on at Sandown last month so is best watched but Ballinvarrig wasn't beaten far at Ayr, though would have preferred softer going. HOUSTON DYNIMO has struggled on winter ground since scoring at Leicester in November but has conditions in his favour today and should be in the firing-line. Native Robin won a novices' handicap at Doncaster in January but this is a better race.
