Verdict

Silly Gilly went close on her seasonal debut at Thirsk and a similar effort should see her in the mix. Classic Descent is also capable of making the frame if at his best, but a speculative vote goes to STAR ADDITION. He's dropping back in trip here but scored off a 3lb higher mark at Wolverhampton in October and might be up to taking this. It's A Mans World, Baltimore Jack and Jupiter Fidius have the past form to figure if in the mood.
