Verdict

EBONY GALE weakened close home when second at Huntingdon but that was his first try over fences and he had made a couple of errors on the way around. Any improvement would make him hard to beat in this racing off the same mark. Write It Down has won twice over fences and was given plenty to do last time at Huntingdon. Jarlath is also a previous course and distance winner but Fresh New Dawn took a backward step again at Exeter. Plumpton runner-up Magic River lacks a bit of scope but will strip fitter here whereas Kilcara is returning from a year off.
