In depth
Verdict
Mick Channon’s stable is in flying form and it may be significant that he sends out Poucour again quickly after his second at Fontwell on Boxing Day. She’ll need to settle better to get home here but there is nothing among the opposition to strike fear, apart from PLANSINA. Tom Symonds’ filly won twice on the Flat and appears to handle all types of going. If she takes to hurdles, she has more ability than this bunch. Good Impression and Astra Viamay be best of the rest.
