Formscan - Hakuna Babe was victorious by just under a length over C&D in October and she is likely to be on the premises off a 2lb higher mark on her first start for the Ed Walker stable. However, preference is for previous C&D winner FAST STEPS, who returned from a 235-day break to finish fifth at Kempton earlier in the month, which could have put him spot on for this assignment off a 1lb lower rating. Tarbaan and Mildyjama are others to watch out for.
