This should prove a straightforward task for ORPENINDEED. A C&D winner, he's won his last two starts over 6f here in similar company and is favourably treated at the weights once again. The Big Haerth looks the one most likely to follow him home having won over C&D in November and placed behind Army Of Stars, who runs later on the card, at Lingfield last time. Unlimited has the past form to figure if he can rediscover it here but it's difficult to make a serious case for any of the remainder who have no recent form to recommend them.
