Having won a C&D handicap in October, GUERNESEY has continued in good heart with a trio of placed efforts and from the same mark as Taunton he is just about the most persuasive option. The market will help assess Birds of Prey on reappearance, with veteran Trans Express another to consider back at Exeter.
