No winning form on offer in a weak a handicap. In The Spotlight went closest to winning on her latest start though that was over 5f at Chepstow back in September. RED MOHICAN is just preferred despite not threatening the winner when runner-up over track and trip last week as she now goes handicapping for the first time and may improve as a consequence. Tranquil Daze finished closer when fourth here in November and Little Nosegay could go well for David Evans’ in-form yard while Fully Focussed is another having her first start in a handicap.
