Verdict

Last month's C&D winner Sir Chauvelin should go well again and his form brings Ashington right into the picture given he's now 5lb better off for a 3¾L defeat. Groveman should be fitter for the run at Sandown and couple play a hand but there was plenty to like about MIRANDA's Kempton success at Christmas and, given Paul Nicholls' sterling record at this venue, could be primed to follow up now.
