FOXHAVEN is capable of going well fresh and can record another success at his favourite track. The nine-year-old has been a good servant to Patrick Chamings and is still well treated on his best form, despite being raised 5lb for scoring over C&D in October. Urban Space is another who normally goes well here but Conor Dore's charge ran poorly when favourite over a shorter trip at the track earlier this month. Jivry and Tenessee are probably best watched after a break but Countess Comet hasn't been disgraced in three runs this season and, along with Musselburgh winner Ghufa, should be thereabouts.
