Verdict

Snow Conditions finished four lengths ahead of subsequent runner-up Cameley Dawn when scoring over track and trip in August and has claims dropping back down in class after an outing in Class 4 company. Grams And Ounces beat Danglydontask over 1m5f here before winning again over hurdles but the latter re-opposes on better terms while Shadarpour has a chance off his current mark. But FRONT FIVE stayed 2m well enough when third at Chelmsford ahead of Shadows Ofthenight and there should be more to come from Amanda Perrett's three-year-old over this longer trip.
