Though cases can be realistically made for several of these, RODNEY is firmly on the up and is taken to complete the hat-trick following commanding victories at Leicester and Hereford. Regal Renaissance may well have won had she stayed on all fours here in December and is feared most ahead of Toothless, who regained the winning thread at Windsor on New Year's Day. Joker de Mai is also worth a second look.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Toothless might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as Charles Ritz usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
Individual Price Hint: Palamon traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Regal Renaissance traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on 3 of its last 5 starts.
