Verdict

Sea Fox is hard to recommend but the remainder have been in good form here over the winter and none more so than Silverturnstogold. The latter shrugged off a 5lb rise to land a hat-trick of course wins though collateral form has hm closely matched with Jazz Hands, who bids for a treble after scoring here on New Year’s Day when ahead of Momtalik. Robero is another recent winner having scored here a fortnight ago but DIRECTORY (NAP) may have the edge in this despite finding one too good last time. James Eustace’s charge is the only one of these to have won at this level when successful over course and distance last month and gets another chance today.
