Verdict
The return to 7f should help DANDY KHAN, who was successful off a 2lb lower mark when last seen over C&D three starts ago. With that in mind, she gets the vote ahead of the recent Kempton winner Serenity Dream. A 3lb rise for that victory will make life tougher for Tony Carroll's gelding, while the consistent Monsieur Kodi completes the shortlist.
Expert View Verdict
SPLIT ELEVENS goes particularly well over this C&D and looked unlucky not to finish second, and give the winner something to think about, when last seen at Southwell in October. He should get a nice tow into this from the inside stall. Serenity Dream was back to winning ways at Kempton last time and shouldn't have an issue with the step back up in trip. He rates the danger, although Dandy Khan could still be on a competitive mark and the drop to 7f looks a good move.
