Verdict
Creative Force completed a four-timer, including the Jersey Stakes, after winning this last year and this renewal looks even more competitive. Vintage Clarets is preferred to Admiral D of the Fahey runners but Dig Two, second in last year’s Windsor Castle, makes more appeal. Lucky Man has been burning up the all-weather and De Sousa was on board Object when he won at Kempton in November. Pocket The Profit has won five of his last six and can’t be ignored, despite a penalty, but Tolstoy looks weighted to the hilt. PRINCESS SHABNAM did nothing but improve in her first season and, back over 6f, there may still be more to come from Sean Woods’ filly. Loves Me Likearock ran well in Listed company here in October and may be best of the rest.
