Amzac Magic is the only course winner in the line-up and also won at Exeter in December but ran a shocker when favourite on a return visit to the latter track last month. Brian Hughes takes the ride on Those Tiger Feet, a comfortable winner at Ayr in November. Kim Bailey's charge is lightly-raced and should make a bold bid to defy a 5lb rise. NEETSIDE has really found her form since returning from point-to-points, falling when there with a chance at Taunton then following a close second at Exeter with a very easy victory on heavy ground there last month. Not surprisingly, she's been hit with a 10lb rise but is taken to follow up. Sissinghurst looked one to follow after scoring at Market Rasen and ran well from 8lb higher at Wetherby but poorly when stepped up to this level at Doncaster. Shaw's Cross has gained both victories on heavy ground, though has a long absence to overcome, while Motts Cross can't have been right at Exeter after returning from a long absence with two very good runs.
