In depth
Verdict
Cool Roxy has more to do under his penalty and it will be a surprise if he is good enough to follow up, while Kalou would be one to keep an eye on if the market speaks in his favour. Classic Conkers is given the TEAMtalk vote to get off the mark over hurdles. He turned in a sound effort over course and distance back in October behind the useful Rutledge Red, who then went on to run well in defeat. He may have most to fear from Dick Turpin, who was just behind the selection that day and meets him on the same terms. Others to consider include Newsplayer and Lincoln Cross. The latter shaped with plenty of promise behind The Villager in a bumper and if anywhere near straight, will take some beating.
