SHADOWY (7) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 0.1 lengths over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. VILLIAN (8) returns from a break of four-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1m1/4f at Mahoning Valley. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. GOLDEN FLAG (12) is back from a lay-off after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 6f at Mahoning Valley on October 30. Change of rider to Rocco Bowen who has an excellent strike rate when in the saddle, including three wins. Has winning claims on best figures. EAGLE NEST (3) showed good early speed over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 8 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run on the speed. Among the top-three contenders.
