Verdict
REGAL FLOW (NAP) is fancied to defy top weight in this as he's taken well to fences and followed up his victory at Plumpton with another good run behind Sun Wild Life at Taunton. De Kerry Man beat a subsequent winner at Warwick in November when with Fiona Kehoe and can't be ignored on his first run for David Bridgwater but Time To Think is struggling to recapture her best form. Veteran Herecomesthetruth may need this and the enigmatic Morestead is 8lb out of the handicap.
