In depth

Verdict

Stormbound is back on exactly the same mark as when last successful while Abertillery showed some improvement on his handicap debut at Doncaster and makes his all-weather debut on what looks a fair mark. Napoleon Solo dropped back to 6f at Wolverhampton and returned to form so he has to be respected over this longer trip but Gracious George wasn't at his best in the autumn, though likes it around here and did much better on his latest start last month. Spirit Of Gondree scored at Wolverhampton before making a bold bid to follow up at Chelmsford after a 4lb rise. EXALTED has had very little racing for his age and scored here last month. He only went up 2lb for last week's run here but was tackling slightly better company and didn't weaken until late so get the nod.
