    Verdict

    GUARD DUTY's 2 placed efforts this season represent solid form and he's taken to provide Emma Lavelle with a second successive win in this race. Geromino landed this race 2 years ago and may provide the main threat on the back of an encouraging return from an absence at Haydock. Smokeringinthedark is next on the list.

    Guard Duty silk

    Three wins last season and has returned with solid placed efforts in handicaps at Newbury (I20/5f, good to soft) and Windsor (2½m, good) this winter. Likely to give another good account for last year's winning yard.

    Geromino (Fr) silk

    Winner of this race 2 years ago. Lightly raced since but showed he retains plenty of ability back from a long absence when fourth of 8 at Haydock just after Christmas. Well treated if he can build on that.

    Smokeringinthedark (Ire) silk

    Disappointing back from 6 months off at Wetherby in November but put that quickly behind him when second of 9 over 2½m at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. Respected off an unchanged mark.
