Viola Park ran poorly last time having been beaten only a head over track and trip before that while Ubla never figured at Chelmsford on his latest start having gone close at Kempton. French Twist is hard to predict but Little Miss Lilly has been creeping closer over 6f. Ishebayorgrey scored over track and trip in November and can race off a similar mark but FORTISSIMO is taken to open his account having slipped 15lb down the weights since October and posting a couple of better efforts lately.
