There is not much between these modest types at the weights but SANTIBURI SPRING arrives on the back of placed efforts in handicaps, including a second over track and trip last time, and looks up to winning at this level. Pastoral Star was a never-dangerous third at Windsor last month while Marcle won at Wolverhampton in October and Clive Clifton scored here in February. It could also pay to keep an eye on the betting with the likes of Paco Pat, Forecaster, Pretty Jewel and Matilda's Law who are all lightly raced and returning to action.
