LITTLE PALAVER cam good at the first time of asking last season and looks well-handicapped in relation to Lightning Charlie who is 1lb worse off with 2L to find. Higher Court has won his last three over C&D and now needs to prove himself in higher grade, whilst another front-runner Karjini will be happier on this easier circuit having been outstayed by a well-handicapped 7f horse last time at Newcastle. Doc Sportello looked ready to win soon on his latest outing, whilst the likelihood of a strong pace will be helpful to a finisher such as Union Rose.
