EXCELLENT PUCK looks the safest bet as he improved to finish second at Lingfield last time giving the impression today's longer trip would suit. He's preferred to Shockingdancer as the latter was beaten a disappointing seven lengths when runner-up here last time. Stablemate Autrisk finished further behind in the same race and London Bridge will need to improve on his debut effort at Kempton in October. Premium should be noted in the betting on her introduction as she's related to a couple of winners and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Chebika.
