Residency has proved best at Southwell so far and still has a bit to make up with Ridley Didley on recent running at that track. The latter also beat SHARP SHOES on the Fibresand last month but it may be a different story here. Ann Duffield's sprinter returns to this track for the first time since blowing away the opposition over C&D in December and can take this with champion jockey Paul Hanagan booked for his first ride of the year. Decider is at his best over this minimum trip and makes most appeal of the remainder.
