DAYTIME AHEAD is in the veteran stage now but she likes it here and looked to be coming to hand in better company at the track last time. She’s not raced off a mark this low in more than four years and Jack Martin takes off a further 7lb. Cawthorne Lad won over fences in the autumn and is only 2lb higher while Nickelsonthedime, who appears to have the beating of No Hubs No Hoobs, has shown enough to suggest he can win an ordinary handicap. Tremwedge can also figure if fully wound-up but the handicapper has taken no chances with Chepstow scorer Seventeen O Four, though he has plenty of scope.
