Verdict

NEEDNOMAN (9) finished third here nearly a month ago and was sixth here on the first day. She meets a modest line-up, and despite a tricky gate, she is still the one to beat. POLLY'S GURU (1) is a lightly tried 6YO gelding who needed his fresh run here on Saturday, and his chances are best the wetter the track gets. Use the market as the best guide. ANGEL'S ARMY (12) still has plenty to learn, but she would only have to race up to the form that saw her finish runner-up here when resuming on New Year's Day to be a big each-way threat in this field. EIVAN (2) has been steadily improving, and ran his best race yet here just over 4 weeks ago when finishing second over 1 ¼m. He is fit and can go one better. DANIELLISH (10) has hit the line strongly in her last few starts, and if she can stay in touch with the leaders, then she could even take this out at big odds.
