Verdict

A trappy 3-runner race but handicap debutant SINCHI ROCA shapes as though he could relish this trip and is preferred to Kitty Foyle, who ran well over a slowly-run 3m at Kempton in November.

1	Point/fairly useful bumper winner who made a successful start over hurdles here, and having got back on track when rallying to finish close second at Taunton (16.5f) last time, looks interesting over a markedly longer trip on handicap bow. 1st Pick 1 Sinchi Roca (Ire) Jockey: Tom Bellamy Trainer: Syd Hosie J: Tom Bellamy T: Syd Hosie	100	-	-	-	56%

2	Fairly useful sort ran well (despite being keen) when third on first try over this trip at Kempton in November, and she's entitled to go close if settling on her return. 2nd Pick 2 Kitty Foyle (Ire) Jockey: Robbie David Trainer: Daisy Hitchins J: Robbie David T: Daisy Hitchins	99	-	-	-	25%

3	Landed wins at Warwick and Newton Abbot last summer but proved way too free returning from a further 5 months off at Ludlow last time. That should at least take the freshness out of him, and he does benefit from the return of Harry Cobden for this step up in trip. 3rd Pick 3 Byzantium (Fr) Jockey: Harry Cobden Trainer: Paul Nicholls J: Harry Cobden T: Paul Nicholls	98	-	-	-	50%
