Verdict
It's difficult to get away from TOMMY'S PROMISE, who has won his last three starts, including twice over C&D, in a convincing manner. He doesn't have recent partner Donagh Murphy taking 7lb off his back and has a further 5lb rise to deal with, but he is still very much the one to beat under Darragh Keenan, who was aboard for the Chelmsford victory in early December. Meet Me In Meraki was a close-up fourth here last week and should run well again, as should bottom-weight Muy Muy Loco.
Expert View Verdict
TOMMY'S PROMISE completed a 10f polytrack hat trick at the end of last year and with the form of his penultimate victory working out very well is fancied to defy a further 5lb rise. Consistent top weight Meet Me In Meraki was given too much to do last time but he has shown a consistent level of form for some time so will be a big danger if getting a stiff test at the trip. Lenny's Spirit was twice a winner on the turf last year and has now dropped back to his last winning mark. If settling better than last time he can also make his presence felt.
