PARTISAN HERO (3) is a model of consistency. Pushed on from four consecutive placed efforts to record his second flat success making all tackling the trip at Kempton in February. Poised for another bold showing and may follow-up. FINN RUSSELL (5) was far from disgraced when a close fourth at Wolverhampton last time. Warrants thought back down in distance. SHALADAR (4) has been absent since October. Goes well fresh and merits consideration when resuming. YAAJOOZ (2) resurfaces after a lay-off of eight-months. Respect adopting first-time hood.
2331
Last start winner over 1m at Kempton Park All Weather after recording a close third two starts back at Wolverhampton. Sure to prove hard to beat again.
7008
Imported five-year-old kicking off for the Harriet Bethell stable. Finished eighth over 2m at Kilbeggan at his last appearance eight months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for return. Others rate better this time.
916
Last appeared eight months ago when he finished 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1m2 1/2f at Haydock Park. Won when resuming last prep at Thirsk over 1m. Has the ability to run well.
2374
Hasn't raced since finishing fourth over 1m1/2f at Nottingham five months ago. Very strong performer at this stage of the prep. Capable of a bold showing.
01284
Has been out of the money recently including last time out when fourth over 1m1 1/2f at Wolverhampton four weeks ago, beaten 1.5 lengths. Certainly worth another chance.
11527
In the money two starts back at Wolverhampton but couldn't back that up when unplaced over 1m1 1/2f at Wolverhampton last time. Likely to find this out of reach.
4400
Has not raced since finishing 18 lengths away in 13th over 1m2f at Leopardstown on October 20. Managed to fill a minor placing when resuming last prep at Leopardstown over 1m. Unlikely to trouble the top few.
