Verdict

PEACENIK seemed suited by the step up to this trip when making all in good style over C&D 3 weeks ago and this progressive sort remains one to keep on the right side of. Botox Has is back down in class and is on a realistic mark so is next best, while Lowry's Bar could bounce back from his much-reduced mark after a break.

1	Confirmed reappearance promise with an all-the-way win at Doncaster in December and took another big step forward when making all over C&D 3 weeks ago, burning off his rivals with a strong-galloping display.

2	Good third in Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham last winter but hasn't replicated that form since, though quickly put poor effort behind him when respectable third of 5 in National Spirit at Fontwell last month. Player back down in class from an easing mark if building on that. 2nd Pick 2 Botox Has (Fr) Jockey: Caoilin Quinn Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore J: Caoilin Quinn T: Gary & Josh Moore	100	-	-	-	17%

3	Took well to fences last season, winning at Exeter and Chepstow before second of 3 in 3m Windsor Grade 2 novice. Found to have bled final start that season, however, and ran no sort of race in Coral Gold Cup on return here in November. Mark has dropped 12 lb at least. 3rd Pick 3 Lowry's Bar (Ire) Jockey: Sean Houlihan Trainer: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White J: Sean Houlihan T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	83	-	-	-	15%
