Verdict
Cry Wolf races off the same mark as when second over course and distance last time but the interesting one could be TRALEE HILLS. He was the subject of a gamble at Kempton in November but was hampered at an early stage and couldn’t recover. Dropped a further 2lb since, he could be well treated. Amanto is a danger having won over slightly further here at the start of the month and Sea Sculpture has been running better than form figures would suggest. Crimson King is another to consider and Noble Fox has been knocking on the door. The Twisler is fit from hurdling but 0-6 on the all-weather.
