Verdict

MACK THE KNIFE found only one too good upped to 1m6f at Chelmsford when attempting to land a four-timer. He gets another chance in this company given Lady Elysia is returning from a lay-off. The latter may still prove the main danger having gone close over track and trip in October while Prismatic is preferred to Loch Ness Monster on her earlier placed form here. The rest are hard to recommend though Siavash slides further down the weights.
