Verdict

KWANZA (3) has been racing strongly all winter, and he gives every indication that 2m is exactly is what he is looking for. He is nicely placed after a 4lbs claim, and will be very hard to hold out. MONROE (4) is a stablemate of the top pick who has gone back to back leading into this, and he will also be suited by the extreme trip. A wide gate is no issue with a long time to find a handy spot, and the hat-trick beckons. EARLY TIMES (8) was not far off the second pick when finishing fourth in the same race last start, and he has the breeding to see out 4 miles. Stick with him. SLICK CHICK (12) is usually in our selections, and she has been racing with not much luck. This trip will leave her with no more excuse, and we are going each-way again with her. LORD SPENCER (7) has been the break out jumping star this winter, and he was good enough to win 4 on the flat as a younger gelding. Keep safe.
