Verdict

Mazovian, Aldeburgh and Unex Modigliani have all been mixing jumping action with spins on the all-weather lately. Christmas Twenty wouldn't be without a chance on his best form and Ivanhoe has the past form to figure, though returns from a break. FIELDS OF GLORY (NAP) is reunited with Richard Johnson on only his second start in a handicap. He improved a little over course and distance in January and should be prominent in a race like this. Notebook has won twice at Catterick this season but has appeared to have been caught up by the handicapper since.
