Formscan  - Having found only a progressive rival too strong over C&D in October, ESPONA BAY looks more than capable of opening his account. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings for Michael Bell's gelding could prove to be lenient and he gets the call over Filly Foden. The daughter of Ardad filled the runner-up spot on her last two outings for previous trainer Rod Millman and she's likely to be involved if running to a similar level. Handicap debutant Ya Habibti is the pick of the remainder.
