      Verdict

      March bids for a hat trick on her seasonal debut off a 6lb higher mark than when scoring at Nottingham in October. Inka Surprise also ended last season with a victory when successful at Kempton and makes his handicap debut while Dusty Storm should be winning again this year off her current mark. The Art Of Racing has the edge on fitness and arrives in fine form having scored at Ripon last month but Jo Hughes trained last year's winner and SMART SPENDER is preferred. He got no sort of run when trapped behind the first two home over track and trip last week and gets another chance today.
