COMEDINEWITHME is one of the least exposed in the field and has the best recent form with a couple of placed efforts in testing ground. This longer trip should see her off the mark and Jamie Snowden's mare gets the vote ahead of Floral Spinner. The latter will appreciate the return to soft ground having failed to catch Billy No Name at Wincanton last time and has plenty to spare on handicap ratings with Blue Sea Of Ibrox. Truckers Darling made the frame at Lingfield in November but has disappointed in novice events since.
