Verdict
Both Brown Pete and Ela Gonda Mou are now back on winning marks having scored during the summer but Saucy Cat couldn't cope off a 6lb higher mark last time having won at Kempton before that. Arctic Galaxy had an easier task in a seller on his latest start but found one too good and the vote goes to TARTAN GUNNA. He was beaten less than a length when fourth over C&D last week and finally looks set to take advantage of a tumble down the weights.
