HARDWICK ATHENA (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (29.32) at this track. Should be very hard to beat this time. BRAMBLE NICKEEN (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with 19 wins and 15 minors from 46 tries. Missed the frame latest (17.35) when fourth over 290m at this track in a IV. Suited here and expected to run well. OAKFRONT ROYALE (4) latest effort finished 4th in an A2 on January 30 over 480m at this track behind Dunelm Le Fee beaten 6 lengths (29.48). Looks a key player on best form. SOLWAY GINNY (5) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.
