Verdict

American Life has attracted market support in his last two starts but fell in the first and was well beaten in the second. Ghost River has flattered to deceive and is now fitted with a visor. Newsworthy is tried in blinkers after disappointing since finishing third at Sedgefield in October while Kid Kalanisi is still seeking a first win over hurdles with last month’s Fontwell victory coming in a lower grade over fences. LETEMGO hasn’t won since 2014 but is now 11lb lower and has been showing signs of a revival lately. He looks the one to be on with Tzar De L'elfe a long-standing maiden in France before joining Richard Rowe.
