Grace Hull scored at this course in between outings at Southwell but Ad Vitam has been competing over 7f since winning over track and trip in November. New Decade ran below par last time having won here earlier so stablemate COLOURBEARER gets a chance to show he can do better. He's up 3lb after scoring over course and distance last month but makes more appeal than Go Far, whose only win to date came on the Fibresand at Southwell in December. Hazard Warning recorded a course double at this time last year but hasn't raced since May.
