In depth

Verdict

Coldwells has dropped to a reasonable mark nowadays and produced his best run for some time at Ayr last week. Jeringa probably needs further than this while the lightly-raced Do It For Dalkey weakened very quickly on his comeback at Hexham in November. STOLEN LIGHT gained his only success over fences at Sedgefield in September from a 13lb lower mark but he's continued to perform well and gets the vote as this shouldn't take much winning. Both Paddys Unyoke and Ice Image are maidens with a total of 37 starts between them so Iris's Flyer may prove the main threat as he ran quite well at Catterick last time.
