      Verdict

      The five-year-old Brook is a possible improver having had just the three starts over fences but Red Penny showed little on his belated debut over the larger obstacles. Call The Detective easily justified favouritism on heavy going at Fontwell on Boxing Day but has been a bit disappointing since. UMBERTO D'OLIVATE (NAP) was only fourth when joint favourite at Chepstow earlier this month but that was a stronger heat than this. He was only beaten two lengths off a 15lb higher mark over this track and trip in November and a repeat of that effort would suffice. Mountain Of Mourne was only beaten half-a-length when tried over 3m at Chepstow last time and looks the danger.
