      Verdict

      INDIGO TIMES was in excellent form in the autumn, completing a double here before beaten a neck on his hat-trick bid at Kempton. He's been given a nice break and still looks on a very fair mark. Black Kalanisi scored over fences at Plumpton in November and won a jumpers' bumper at Lingfield earlier this month. Gold Standard landed a Lingfield handicap over 1m4f and has been narrowly beaten over 2m there the last twice so this trip should suit while Decora was making her debut for Sheena West when staying on over 1m4f at Lingfield and is another likely to enjoy the step-up.
