Verdict
The Tin Miner followed up a good second here in November with a win at Huntingdon and should be thereabouts again if ready after a break. Chloe's Court also has a place over course and distance to her name and she was successful over a shorter trip at Exeter in January. Windance made a winning start in handicaps at Taunton earlier in the week but that’s earned him a penalty over this much longer trip and his dam barely stayed 3m. BEAUVALLON BAY (NAP), on the other hand, has been crying out for a thorough test of stamina and, with blinkers added, can open his account here.
