Verdict
UGANDA GLORY won over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month so gets a token vote. Sutton Sid has won over 1m2f at the track in the past and Tactical Strike finished a close-up fourth at Nottingham last year off a much higher mark so look best of the rest as Feb Thirtyfirst hasn't raced on the Flat since 2012 and Rajah is without a win since 2010. Both Permitted and Fleetwood Nix have shown nothing so far but are the least exposed in a dire contest.
