KATHERINE PLACE has held her form well over the winter having won two of her last four starts and finishing runner-up on the other occasions, including at Lingfield last time - Bill Turner’s mare makes most appeal. Qaaraat gets a change of headgear after a couple of modest efforts but Polly Douglas travels over from Ireland having won off a higher mark at Dundalk in the past. Sing Bertie finished in front of Storm Lightning when fourth at Chelmsford but has yet to win while Teepee Time’s only success in 21 attempts on the all-weather came back in 2017.
