CARLTON (3) was beaten just a nose last start when second tackling a small field at this track. Maintains a strong record here including six wins. May get involved in the finish. TRYFAN (1) struggled contesting a much deeper race at Newcastle four weeks ago. Hector Crouch gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding who might prove tough to beat. MACHETE (2) finished 3. 5L away in fourth last time out at Wolverhampton. Steps up in trip and is one of the main contenders. CRACKALACKIN (6) finished fourth at Lingfield providing his most recent appearance in December. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
