VALEDICTORY opened his account at the third attempt in a Chelmsford novice in October, scoring with plenty in hand, and he could do better still as he heads into handicaps. He gets the vote ahead of C&D winner King Al, who arrives on the back of a successful spell over hurdles, with Bulletin and Sportingsilvermine completing the shortlist.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Twisting Physics is one who could suffer as a result: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Arcturus Flame who is likely to make a challenge late.
Individual Price Hint: Sportingsilvermine traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Arcturus Flame traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
