Verdict

The vote goes to GEMMARI, who may be able to dominate this small field. Fellow course winner Lady Ridgewood is feared most, ahead of unexposed 3-y-o Mother Dear.

4	Found plenty to land a course handicap (1¾m) in January. Confirmed he's a better horse on this surface when going close to a fourth all-weather victory at Kempton (2m) last time. Back down in trip and could be difficult to peg back if again allowed his own way in front. 1st Pick 4 Gemmari Jockey: Sean Levey Trainer: Richard Hannon J: Sean Levey T: Richard Hannon	100	-	-	-	36%

2	Off the mark in a 1¼m maiden here on final start for Peter Chapple-Hyam last August. Largely out in the wilderness (mainly on turf) prior to capitalising on a drop in grade at Southwell (11f). Building up a good all-weather record and not fully exposed over this longer trip. 2nd Pick 2 Lady Ridgewood Jockey: Conor Whiteley Trainer: Ian Williams J: Conor Whiteley T: Ian Williams	98	-	-	-	17%

6	Low-mileage 3-y-o who is half-sister to a useful one. Back on the up with cheekpieces added when making it 2 wins from 5 career starts in Pontefract handicap (1½m) latest. Could be more to come up in trip on all-weather bow, provided headgear continues to have a positive effect. 3rd Pick 6 Mother Dear Jockey: David Probert Trainer: Hughie Morrison J: David Probert T: Hughie Morrison	95	-	-	-	25%
