This will be a real slog through the mud as it was a year ago when won by KILCULLEN FLEM. Philip Kirby's charge has run in better company subsequently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he completed the double so gets the nod. He was a long way behind Total Assets over the track and trip in November and Simon Waugh's charge won't mind the conditions nor will Weststreet, who looked an out-and-out stayer when a close third over 3m5f at Lingfield last time. Court Frontier was only just behind in that latter contest and is on a decent mark nowadays while Teddy Tee has been placed in six of seven starts over fences but never won.
