Verdict
Barton Rose bolted up over track and trip on similar going last month but has been hit by a 10lb rise. SEA WALL (NAP) had his problems over fences first time around but there were no signs of ring-rustiness at Lingfield on Monday, where he could be called the winner a long way from home. He can race off the same mark here and, as he’d won easily over hurdles at Plumpton a week previously, is clearly at the top of his game at present. Copper Birch won at Ffos Las and Hereford in November and is still on a fair mark and Allthegear No Idea has been lightly raced over fences and is still coming down the weights. Moscow Me has a good record here and is back on a winning mark so can’t be ignored.
