A tricky-looking big-field novice event where the market could prove a useful guide. TIMBER TWELVE (2) might be the safest option having picked up nicely to make a winning debut over 1m at Kempton in September. Trained by Michael Bell this runner is open to further improvement. Preferred. Fellow penalised contender STARLIGHT TIME (1) made a smart winning debut at Epsom before running respectably in a valuable sales race at Newmarket. May go well despite a tricky draw. Dropping to 1m looks a good move for DEVIL'S BRIGADE (5) having shown up well to finish third over 1m2f here last time. ITICA (6) requires a market check.
