Verdict

Fields of Glory wasn’t far behind a prolific winner at Stratford in November. That was his first run since April so improvement is expected, though his yard is just going through a quiet spell at present. CHASMA reappeared at Southwell in November and came out best. That was on good ground but he has won on soft and, only 5lb higher, has every chance of completing a hat-trick. Minella For Me is almost certainly better than he’s shown so far and rates a danger while Edward Elgar kept on for pressure when third at Towcester and has been dropped 2lb since. Mr Jim may be best of the rest.
