Verdict
Unanswered has managed five victories including one at Cheltenham in November. He's looked a few pounds high the last twice but Liam McKenna's claim will aid his cause. Gold Speed is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and is back on the same mark while Cork maiden winner La Malmason makes her handicap debut after a narrow defeat in a course and distance novices' event. BIG DEBATES is the oldest in the line-up and he's been chasing but reverts to timber on a 17lb lower mark and can take advantage. Mighty Mo Missouri has yet to win but has some strong form in decent maiden company and his stable could hardly be in better form. Level Neverending didn't run badly in the Pertemps Final and should get competitive.
