Verdict
Comfort Line was unlucky enough to catch a live one when runner-up to the very smart Raadobarg a year ago with Star Harbour, Casanova and Carrytheone all close behind. Totally Charming proved himself on heavy ground at Doncaster in October and George Boughey has booked Colin Keane. Fellow UK raider Lattam won his first two starts last summer so obviously goes well fresh and looks on a fair mark while Ado McGuinness had nine entries with course winner No More Porter perhaps best of them. GOOD HEAVENS has had a couple of runs over hurdles this winter and was beaten narrowly in the Irish Cambridgeshire here in October. He looks the type to land a big handicap this campaign. Emporio and Cosmic Vega are others to note in an open renewal.
