Verdict

Sonoran Sands won three times on the Flat and showed promise when fourth on his hurdling debut at Kempton. Musnad was third at Catterick in November, while Captain Brown was very green at Market Rasen in September and will have had plenty of schooling in the interim. Swing Bowler is an obvious contender having already won bumpers at Wincanton and Warwick, though she probably didn't beat much on either occasion and her long-term future may be over fences. We'll give another chance to CHARLIE WINGNUT, who may just have needed the run at Doncaster in December and should be suited by this sharper track.
