Osmosia has won around here but is better at Fontwell. Mariet beat The Selector and Little Roxy over track and trip in the autumn and is back in the right grade today so should go well. Golden Games is another regular visitor here and is another with claims while Pennies And Pounds might be improving. DEXTER BENJAMIN has had just the four runs and was noted staying on strongly over 2m at Towcester last time. Nico de Boinville takes over the reins for this conditionals' race and the top weight wouldn't need much more to open his account.
