BOUNTY BOX is taken to get the better of Taurus Twins and Mattamia. The selection hasn't been out since October but she won her maiden in really good style at Leicester that day and she could be well-in for her handicap debut. The yard are in good form which further fuels the confidence. Taurus Twins is in good form and he does have a race fitness edge on our selection, but he did get the run of the race at Nottingham last time. Mattamia disappointed in a competitive handicap at York last time but the ground may have been against him that day and he had previously been in winning form at Nottingham. Kate The Great was well beaten last time but that was her first run since August so she may be capable of better today. There are several in with a chance but the vote goes to Bounty Box.
