SNOWED IN had clearly dropped to a decent mark before bolting up over course and distance on New Year’s Day. The grey was raised 10lb after that but has won around here off a similar mark in the past so a follow-up may be on the cards. Rocky Two produced a much-improved effort at Wetherby last time but was due to turn out at that track again yesterday. Final Countdown was third off this mark at Musselburgh so has place claims again and makes more appeal than Taunton third Galactic Power. Copt Hill is 1-32 over hurdles and was well beaten at Newcastle on Monday.
