        Verdict

        British Art won this last year and subsequently scored here again in November. Glasgon won at Southwell last month while Good Man has had a wind operation since finishing runner-up here back in March. RICHARD STRAUSS won only once when trained in Ireland but has tumbled down the weights since joining Philip Kirby earlier in the year. He gets the vote having finished second at Catterick recently and is preferred to Highway Robber, a runner-up over 2m last time.
