        Verdict

        With Bang Bang Rosie and Parsonal due to run yesterday at Plumpton, this small field is likely to be reduced further. Copper Gone West was bought for £100,000 after winning a maiden point at Inch in April of last year by 10 lengths but he’s yet to race for new connections. SKANDIBURG won a bumper here in October but appeared to find 2m too short on his hurdles bow at Haydock. He won’t get many better chances to score over timber, though Three Bullet Gate ran green at Chepstow and makes more appeal than Celtic Joy.
