      Verdict

      Chief's Will won at Southwell last month and finished ahead of Star Shield at the same track earlier. Plastic Paddy has a shout on a length defeat at Southwell in November and is preferred to Asdaa but another chance goes to GIFTED GOLD. The latter was sent off joint-favourite in a higher grade at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut but had no luck in-running having been slowly away and cheekpieces should sharpen her up.
