Trumpstoo would have claims in this moderate contest if able to reproduce his best form but finished tailed off on his all-weather debut here in December. Laura Land is better on Fibresand while Noah Jameel carries a 6lb penalty for scoring over 1m2f at Kempton last week, though stays this longer trip and will almost certainly be in the firing-line again. Little Richard could probably run around here blindfold and returned to form with a second over C&D on Friday but did finish some way adrift of ABULHARITH here in November. Ron Harris' gelding was just beaten off a 4lb higher mark here in December and Ollie Greenall will give him every assistance from the saddle in this.
