        Verdict

        Miner's Lamp won at Sandown and Leicester in the autumn and further progress is expected this year. Lugarno Palace made a winning reappearance at Wolverhampton while Donny Rover and Old Town Boy were also successful last time. Zee Zeely's stable is in terrific form but he let supporters down over this trip at Pontefract last month. SNOW TROUBLE couldn't quite get to Zampa Manos over a mile on his return to action but stayed on strongly suggesting the extra quarter-mile will be right up his street. He'll strip fitter here so get the vote.
