Worth scored over C&D last month when just getting the better of Blodwen Abbey by a neck and the latter has since won over 7f here. The pair of them are hard to separate on that evidence and look sure to be in the firing-line but a chance is taken on LITTLE CHINA. William Muir's filly ran out an impressive four-length winner of her maiden over track and trip last time and there should be plenty more to come now handicapping. The remainder may struggle to get into this, though Kempton winner Compton Target has the past form to figure and Uncle Timmy makes his all-weather debut after a soft ground win at Nottingham last week.
