Verdict
Last year's winner Mister Wall Street likes it here but couldn't match strides with Peckanheim on his last appearance over track and trip. He still finished well ahead of Silent Snow, however, and will be backed for a repeat. Indalo Return drops back in trip after a recent third over 3m here and should be thereabouts while King's Chorister was placing for the first time over fences when third at Cartmel. SHADY SADIE (NAP) probably needed her comeback at Wetherby. She won at Musselburgh in November and can reverse last year's running with Mister Wall Street despite being a bit worse off at the weights.
