Honeymoon Cocktail won at Lingfield in December but was a well beaten third at Southwell last time. Prayer Time won at the latter track last month and can race off a similar mark here while San Quentin landed a double on the all-weather in January but remains 6lb higher. Newcastle winner Slunovrat was raised a further 3lb after placing at Haydock in September but Rideonastar and Russian Remarque have not raced since last summer. ICEBUSTER has been thereabouts on the all-weather of late and having finished a close-up fourth off a 9lb higher mark at the track last season, Rod Millman's charge should be in the mix today.
