Verdict

Ermyn's Emerald would almost certainly have taken a hand in the finish but for falling three out at Plumpton though has yet to reach the frame in 13 starts over hurdles. Sky Full Of Stars does best with plenty of give in the ground while Glimpse Of Gold has been struggling though is back on his last winning mark. GOLDEN CANNON gained a surprise victory in a Plumpton handicap in November and was in touch when falling three out back there last time. He looks to have as good a chance as any in a poor handicap though Flanagans Field returned to a bit of form at Uttoxeter.
