The newcomer Avalanche will come into his own over middle-distances if his breeding is anything to go by and preference is for the returning PAWPRINTS. She was only beaten a couple of lengths at Salisbury in October and today's opposition won't take much beating. Tiberius Claudius has a third at the track to his credit, although that came on soft ground, while Itum occupied the same position at Southwell in December. The remainder have yet to show any worthwhile form and are hard to fancy.
