SKI SUNDAY is hard to get away from in this. He has by far the best recent form having suffered a couple of narrow margin losses including a nose defeat at Ffos Las on his latest start. Hada Men has the past form to figure but has shown precious little so far this term while Neptune Equester can race off a much lower mark back over timber but is having his first start since April. Green Wizard went close in a novice handicap here recently and is preferred to dual hurdle winner Rosairlie, who is 14lb higher than her latest win over timber.
