Verdict

Witness In Court left previous form over fences behind when bolting up over 2m at Haydock last month but whether he'll continue that improvement over an extra half-mile off a 9lb higher mark here remains to be seen. DOMTALINE is proven on this sharp track and deserves another win over fences having just been touched off at Exeter in December before finishing third in a decent contest at Fontwell last time. Midnight Sail wasn't disgraced at Haydock last month and has got his act together but Passato doesn't look up to this level nowadays and Tindaro has a lengthy absence to overcome. Deciding Moment can't be ruled out, however, though is creeping up the weights.
