Verdict

Sam Thomas trained the winner when Warwick scorer Conceroe finished fifth in a Listed race at Cheltenham in November and the Welsh handler runs Skytastic, successful on debut at Newbury in this. He should make a bold bid to defy his penalty but LE GRAND LION was a real eye-catcher at Huntingdon just before Christmas and is also open to plenty of improvement. Quiet Flow’s fifth at Ascot last season could not have worked out any better and he is one to note, whatever happens today, while Phil De Pail finished ahead of Jerejak at Newcastle but will need a lot more here.
