Verdict

Several race off the same handicap mark though STAR OF EPSOM won her latest start when successful in a Lingfield handicap with Blairlogie well beaten. The latter won one of these events over track and trip back in August while Channel Packet scored over a mile here more recently with Book Of Verse well beaten. Calcutta Dream placed here in November while Happy Company returns to the Flat having won over hurdles last month.
