Not much to shout about in three previous visits to the track. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

8/1

Failed to build on a career best effort when finishing second of 13 beaten 1¼L behind Rockview Roman in October with below-par efforts over C&D in November and earlier this month. Hard to fancy on recent evidence and first time visor.

Pretty Little Liar (15/8), Paistiul (4/1), Sharjah (6/1), Getgo (7/1), Plum Perfect (15/2), Bellepower (8/1), Spanish Dawn (8/1), Roachdale House (12/1), Monsieur Piquer (12/1), Iron Blue (14/1), Anfaass (16/1), Shes Gold (20/1), Feisty Katerina (33/1), Cherryville (33/1), Lady Of Luxury (50/1), Crystal Pool (66/1), Keep Dreaming (66/1)

PRETTY LITTLE LIAR has been running well in defeat at this venue in the last 12 months. The previous C&D winner ran Magi Gal to 2¾L over the combination to finish second of 14 earlier this month and can hold off the attentions of Sharjah who is currently racing 26lb lower than last winning mark and Getgo for the Keith Clarke yard. C&D winner Spanish Dawn should not be underestimated while Anfaas should not be taken lightly trying this trip for the first time.
