She's Gina saves her best for this track and could be in the mix while heavy ground at Wincanton may have been an excuse for Those Tiger Feet, who won at Ayr before that. Catterick winner Ex S'elance struggled over a shorter trip last time so UNE DE LA SENIERE (NAP) gets the nod. The latter won nicely at Leicester in November and, having run well again in a jumpers' bumper at Kempton last month, Fergal O’Brien’s mare gets the vote back over timber. Pounding Poet makes his handicap debut but File Illico ran poorly at Catterick on his handicap bow.
