This is a competitive affair with most of the field arriving in decent form. Sugarformyhoney returned from a lengthy absence to score over a mile at Kempton last month but may be a shade high in the weights now. MISS AVONBRIDGE hasn't raced since August but her second to Al Freej here then is the best form on offer and, only a pound higher, Tom Dascombe's filly can return with a win. Fab Lolly may be the danger having edged out Oasis Spirit at Kempton last month as Dream Scenario has a penalty for winning over 6f here last week. Maggie Pink ran well at Doncaster and Lingfield last week off today's mark but may find a couple too good again here.
