Running the risk of sounding repetitive, this is another tight and trappy handicap. Rancher Lass is back for more, but down in trip after making a successful raid in December (3m), and her chances could be enhanced by a positive showing from Havana Jack earlier in the afternoon. Wings Of Smoke will be able to draw his pension in a couple more years, but he's a grand sort who is attractively handicapped on the pick of his form, and could have a positive role to play if able to replicate his fine Lingfield effort last month. However, NEFYN BAY just about holds sway in the selection stakes, racing off the same mark as when second to Ramonex at Catterick, with his conqueror going mightily close to following up at Kelso on Sunday.
