This may not take much winning and FOURTOWNS, who ran some good races in defeat for Ben Pauling, is taken to make a winning start for Sarah Humphrey. Definite Dream produced several positive performances in the second half of last year and is feared most ahead of Ballymena Boy.[Ben Hutton]

13-race maiden who was well beaten in December on his final run for Ben Pauling; sold for £9,500 in February; however, he was a good second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in November and is worth a second look on stable debut.
French Flat winner whose hurdle form has been mixed and he failed to shine at Newton Abbot three weeks ago; however, prior to that he was running well until falling at the final flight at Plumpton, and is not discounted.
Maiden who is returning from a five-month break but this former pointer ran some good races when switched to rules in the second half of last year and could be thereabouts if at the top of her game.
Irish bumper winner, unable to reproduce that promise over hurdles and soundly beaten on handicap debut at Fakenham in January, but he returns from a break having had wind surgery and with his trainer in fine form; no surprise to see a bigger performance today.
Her dam is Snow Leopardess, who won the Becher Chase for these connections; this mare has been a long way from hitting those heights but ran well for a fair way at Fakenham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago when back from a break, and she could build on that effort; first-time cheekpieces replace a hood.
Longstanding maiden who was tailed off on the Flat in December when last seen; however, he's on a competitive mark and Sean Bowen is booked for his stable debut; one to watch in the betting.
He's dropped to a mark 9lb lower than when a good second at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft) in December but he's failed to reproduce that form on his four runs since and remains a maiden; has to raise his game.
Yet to threaten under rules but he finished second in a point-to-point bumper and goes handicapping off a lowly mark; this half-brother to a 2m4f hurdle winner could be suited by the step up in trip and is an interesting candidate, especially if attracting market support.
Has got better with each of his four runs, finishing a 22l fifth in a Newton Abbot novice (2m1f, good) four weeks ago, and this handicap debut provides a first realistic opportunity; however, improvement is still needed.
