Verdict
Both Vocaliser and LAKE FIELD have done well over fences. The former has won twice at Taunton and once at Leicester since the beginning of December but another 5lb rise could see his winning run brought to an end. Kim Bailey’s charge failed in his own hat-trick bid at Haydock last time having gone up 12lb but he wasn’t beaten far and should have too much for his likely market rival here off level weights. Ashoka has had a break since pulled up at Fakenham at the start of November but Master Of Finance could be interesting if taking to fences.
