Verdict

It's difficult to ignore VERY FIRST BLADE in this. One of only two previous course winners on show, he beat Sleet over track and trip three weeks ago and is only 3lb higher. Dandys Perier has also scored at the track and is back on a winning mark along with Wolverhampton regular Louis Vee. Coiste Bodhar has gone well here in the past and could figure but Pabusar has plenty to find with the selection on running here in January.
