TARDELLI (1) was good enough to be placed at G2 level as a 3-year-old, and has a terrific record on this track, which he maintained with a crushing win fresh up over this trip here 4 weeks ago. He has to carry an extra 3kg for his troubles, and jumps from a far tougher gate, but he can double the dose. BOURBON EMPRESS (6) was put aside after struggling on a couple of wet tracks here late last season. She looked back to her best when winning the most recent of 2 trials, and should be ready to give this field a big shake fresh up. Each way value. WITZ END (4) failed to fire fresh up at Trentham, and was given an easy time of it in the run home. He will be a lot sharper here and has winning form on this track. Expect him to be more competitive this time. HASSTOBEAWINNER (3) may not win often, but is seldom far away. 2 of his 3 career wins have been on this track, and he looks to be on target for a profitable season after winning a recent trial. Watch closely.
