Verdict
Long-standing maiden Christmas Twenty was third at Kelso earlier this month and is probably entitled to start favourite in a race like this but we might take a chance on veteran ANDHAAR, not entirely disgraced when ahead of Dizoard in a conditionals’ race here earlier in the month – he can’t get much lower in the weights. Chanceiton and Frankie's Promise both bring points form to the table with Lucinda Russell’s charge probably the pick.
