Verdict

Moderate fare to close the card and Almire Du Lia is a token selection to get the better of Topaz Lady and Roschal. Sue Bradburne's chaser hasn't been in the greatest of nick and as a consequence, this former course-and-distance could go off a bigger price than some of his back form entitles. He stays the trip and acts on the ground perfectly well. Topaz Lady is unexposed. She produced a highly encouraging performance at the course in November. Roschal was completely underestimated in the betting here in December. The bookies won't be so generous here and there is a worry of the bounce factor coming into play. Stand On Me has to reverse form on that meeting but is off a platers mark. Toy Gun has proved disappointing while Doris's Gift represents a shrewd yard and it wouldn't be the biggest shock were he able to take a hand.
