KITTY FURNIVAL (2) lines up for the first time since December 20. Looking to emulate her win at Kempton Park All Weather to kick off the last campaign. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SAX APPEAL (4) led to the turn over 2200m at Southwell All Weather last time out but faded to finish eighth. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will play a major role. SURREY FIRE (5) was last at the races when he finished 11th over 2100m at York on October 12. Sure to make his presence felt. APPIER (6) finished a 4.5 lengths seventh when resuming last start over 2380m at Leicester. Has a very strong second up record. Should be much improved.
