Ajara has won the last three times she has raced over this C&D. She had Spin Again a length behind last time and looks sure to go close again. Towy Boy has been in fine form over 5f here recently but has won over today's trip before and has to come into the reckoning. Dancing Red Devil is interesting on her Polytrack debut but TITUS GENT is now back on the same mark as when winning at Lingfield in October and he rates the selection. Fear Nothing has yet to race over 6f and Cheery Cat may struggle again in this grade.
