Standout proved consistent over a variety of distances on turf last year but may just need this first run since finishing third over a mile at Pontefract in October. Tornado Force made all to win his maiden over C&D last month but may find this tougher while Crystal Sky also probably needs to step up on a recent C&D win if she's to post a follow up. Aloneinthestreet wears blinkers for the first time but his best form so far has been on Fibresand, while Irie Ute and Snow Trooper look to be in the handicapper's grip. BAHARAT probably has more to offer, however, having got off the mark when visored at Lingfield last month and he gets the vote.
