    Verdict

    Stamina is the name of the game here and COLDWELLS has that in abundance, so getting the nod ahead of Seize and Windy Hills. The Martin Todhunter-trained mare holds her form pretty well, and she performed with credit over an inadequate trip on good ground here last time. She has already won over 3m 2f at Carlisle and there may still be further improvement in her over this longer distance, so we'll give her the nod. Seize prefers top-of-the-ground and should not be inconvenienced by today's conditions. He also stays 26f but does look to be plenty high enough in the weights. Windy Hills represents the in-form Nicky Richards stable and he should strip fitter for a hunter chase run at Sedgefield in March, his first outing for almost two years. Decent ground is no problem and he could have a big say from this mark. Astyanax is still on a competitive mark and has trip and ground to suit, while there is no douBting that Indy Mood stays, although the handicapper looks to have his measure. Coldwells can strike again.
