Verdict

DOITFORTHEVILLAGE may have been a beaten short-priced favourite last time but he wasn't beaten far and he's looked progressive this winter. Red Devil Start is another who doesn't lack for consistency and he's only been raised 1lb for his performance last time while Sew On Target is an obvious contender but with the Tizzard runners arguably under-performing a little recently, he can't be forwarded with a great deal of confidence.
