Topweight CITY CYCLONE (nap) still has a perfect record in C&D races at this time of year and is taken to complete a quickfire double. Heavenly Fire (second choice) is an obvious danger having got off the mark here on Tuesday, while Radiant Angel is another runner who has performed well within the last week.[Steve Boow]

Comfortably justified good support last Saturday, taking his C&D and January records to 2-2 (registered the other success 12 months ago); likely to cope with going back up 7lb; highly respected.
Seemed to need the run here last Saturday (race won by City Cyclone) on debut for new yard and return from lengthy absence; however, needs to leave that bare form well behind.
Eight-race maiden who ran well (close third) over 6f at Southwell most recently, while shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; possibilities, provided he takes well to added cheeckpieces.
Rested a few weeks since his busy December spell that featured a success at Lingfield and close third at Kempton, both over 7f; drop back to this trip looks ideal on recent evidence.
Raced only at about 6f, winning twice (on turf); slowly away and made no impact at Newcastle last week on debut for new stable; something to prove upped in distance.
Opened her account in C&D contest on Tuesday, overcoming a tardy start as she was helped by the strong pace; 5lb penalty may not be insurmountable, provided the cards again drop right.
Only 1-25 and needs to improve on her December efforts but has become well treated on best form, such as close second over C&D in November; connections also run Heavenly Fire.
Record is just 2-36; performed below market expectations in Southwell classified event most recently, consequently failing to stage a revival, and still has a doubt over current form.
Recorded sole success over 6f; not particularly solid on his sprint form for new yard but shapes as if this return to 7f is possibly worth exploring; may raise his game.
