Verdict

International Law is 5-40 around here and has won from much higher marks. Gentle Fire scored over 1m6f here but couldn't handle the step up to 2m under a penalty at Southwell while Young Winston is 1-22 with his sole success coming on Turf. JENNY REN won over the track and trip in August and, though behind Gentle Fire a month ago, found 1m6f stretching her stamina and a return to this trip should see her in a different light. Order Of St John scored over hurdles in November but could find this on the short side
