Verdict

Snuker beat Fozy Moss by more than four lengths over a shorter trip at Hexham in November and is only a pound worse off. He handles this longer distance and should be thereabouts again while it would be no surprise to see old-timer Boris The Blade come back to form. CILLISEAL was second in this last year off a 9lb higher mark so we'll take Noel Kelly's raider to go one better, though Alexander Oats might show a bit more now tried in blinkers. The others have less obvious claims.
