Verdict

Cresswell Legend is on a roll for Kim Bailey of late and arrives back here seeking a four-timer after impressing again on New Year's Day. He showed the right attitude to score there and should go well again raised 4lb and up slightly in trip. Stamp Your Feet was right behind him in second spot last time and looks capable of mounting another challenge. Connetable has taken some steps in the right direction recently and may figure if his stamina holds out while it would be dangerous to overlook handicap debutant Calett Mad on his best form. JUMP FOR DOUGH is much-improved after a pair of course wins last month and should be able to get close to the hat-trick in this tougher test with his rider's claim a very useful asset over a trip that should hold no fears.
  1. Jump For Dough
  2. Cresswell Legend
  3. Calett Mad
