Verdict
Joey Steel has the most recent form with a second at Newton Abbot in September though he disappointed last time. Poldark Cross ended last season with a second at Fontwell while the veteran Looks Like Power placed over course and distance back in February. Several debut for new yards including Alminar and Dentley De Mee but ICAQUE DE L’ISLE won over fences on testing ground in France during the summer and could go close for new connections.
