In depth
Verdict
Better ground could see a few of these in a better light. Brillare Momento is quickly back over hurdles after one run over fences and is back on a winning mark. GUNFLEET won over course and distance last season and races over hurdles for the first time since so gets the nod ahead of last month’s Kelso scorer Bordeaux Bill and Knock House, who ran well at Musselburgh after winning at Bangor and is now tried in a visor. Who's My Jockey hinted at a revival at Kempton on Boxing Day but was well behind Jersey Bean over 3m at Newbury in November.
