The form books suggests this rests between The Last Day and AIR NAVIGATOR and preference for the latter is only slight as he has looked far from the finished article the last twice and has still to confirm the high opinion held of him. However, he is afforded another chance here as he receives 7lb from what appears to be his main rival, has shown his best form with plenty of cut in the ground and remains a gelding of considerable potential. The Last Day has not fully backed up his win here in November but still rates the prime threat although check the market for Another Emotion, who has joined the Greatrex operation from the point-to-point arena, and Kings Monarch, a winner between the flags who has shown promise on both starts since joining Kerry Lee.
