There's not a great deal to choose between Landucci, Raza Cab and Dickie Le Davoir but we'll stick with the in form Dickie Le Davoir. Landucci will find this company less taxing than the handicap he contested at Lingfield last time but he found precious little in this grade on his penultimate start and looks worth opposing. Raza Cab is perfectly capable on his day but he has saved his best for Lingfield and has made the frame just once in five visits here so it's easy enough to strike him from the list. The selection has won three times in this grade during the course of the winter, including over course and distance, and is holding his form well. He looks sure to run his race and Dickie Le Davoir makes plenty of appeal.
