    Verdict

    There may only be four runners in this but it looks wide open. Henry's Joy is set to be Donald McCain’s first runner since the equine flu outbreak but did win here last month whereas King Golan is having a first outing since notching a double at Kelso in October. Elmono beat JUST MINDED just under two lengths over course and distance on New Year’s Day but Olly Murphy’s charge is now 4lb better off so is fancied to turn the tables and come out on top today.
