Verdict

CILAOS GLACE was in good form around here on the run up to Christmas and can win again with the ground having dried out. Master Work would have a cracking chance on last season’s form but has become disappointing. Gary Moore’s pair The Flying Sofa and Twenty Twenty are worth a market check and Foxboro has gone close the last twice but is now 0-7 over fences. Le Cameleon is still out of sorts while Premiumaccess is making a belated first appearance of the campaign, though could still go well.
