Verdict
Another tough one for punters to unravel but EMIRATE ISLE can return to winning ways. A winner on the Flat at Catterick in October, he followed up over timber at Sedgefield a few days later and though disappointing on his next start there it may have come too soon and he's had a nice break since. Whaston ran very well behind Sheriff Hall at Musselburgh in November, only his third start over timber, and can do better but Super Ally is returning from a very long break and his best run came over a longer trip. No Supper scored over 2m1f on good ground at Carlisle in October and, though running poorly since, shouldn't be dismissed.
