Verdict

This may be a Class 3 handicap but some of these are little better than platers nowadays. That said, Collodi easily won a Fakenham seller in October when a pound higher. The Green Ogre wasn’t disgraced on his reappearance and first run for Alastair Ralph at Doncaster while Flashing Glance is starting to slip down the weights. MASTER WORK was only fifth in this grade at Cheltenham after completing a double over this course and distance a month ago but remains unexposed and he gets another chance, though Mad Jack Mytton was running well off higher marks in the autumn and looks a big danger.
