NEIGE D'ANTAN continues to creep up the weights but has made the frame in her last 10 starts and has won three of those, twice over this C&D. She just does enough to keep the handicapper interested and is the one to beat again. Lyric Poet became disappointing last year but is well enough treated if he's been refreshed by a break and With Hindsight was third at Lingfield last month after a lengthy absence and should strip fitter here. Royal Sea didn't stay 1m4f last time and is another to consider while Sygnature may be capable of better but makes his Polytrack debut today.
