Verdict

GRAIN TRADE can make it back-to-back chase victories as this course, while C&D winner Florita isn't fully exposed over fences and looks the danger. Lone Soldier needs things to fall right to break his maiden but should be in the mix in an open-looking handicap.

2	Strong-travelling sort who was much improved from his chase debut when winning here (19.1f) in October. Back on track when chasing home well-treated rival at Huntingdon (16.5f, soft) 41 days ago, clear of rest. Makes appeal to resume winning ways. 1st Pick 2 Grain Trade Jockey: Gavin Sheehan Trainer: Billy Aprahamian J: Gavin Sheehan T: Billy Aprahamian	100	-	-	-	34%

5	Placed in points and surpassed lowly hurdles form when successful on chase debut over C&D (soft) in December. Never landed a blow in a race where nothing got involved from rear at Wetherby later that month and lightly-raced sort looks worth another chance. 2nd Pick 5 Florita (Ire) Jockey: Jonathan England Trainer: Sam England J: Jonathan England T: Sam England	99	-	-	-	23%

6	Free-going type who has placed in two of his last 3 starts over fences, latterly when second here (17.2f, soft) 16 days ago, again finding a bit less than looked likely. Should be in the mix back up in trip. 3rd Pick 6 Lone Soldier Jockey: Robert Dunne Trainer: Charles & Adam Pogson J: Robert Dunne T: Charles & Adam Pogson	98	-	-	-	34%
