Verdict

Man Of God won his maiden on soft ground at Yarmouth in September and is unlikely to take his chance here unless there's been significant overnight rain. But that still leaves a quartet of three-year-olds who may be capable of improving on what they've achieved so far. Sadler's Risk won over a mile here in the autumn and, being by Sadler's Wells, is certain to be suited by middle-distances this term, while Jacobs Son has already won over this trip on the Polytrack and Mrs Neat is only 2lb higher than when going down to a head defeat at Kempton last time. BRILLIANT BARCA stayed on strongly to score over 1m2f on only his second start, however, and can win again while the ground remains on the fast side of good.
