Verdict
Leath Acra Mor stays well but his second at Huntingdon on Boxing Day hasn't worked out. Reblis is a hard ride and woefully one-paced while Saucysioux ran a shocker at Fontwell after winning over 2m4f here in January and Flugzeug can't be guaranteed to reproduce his Kempton form, though has won three times around here at a lower level. BELLS OF AILSWORTH was just denied stepping up to this trip in a driving finish at Taunton at the start of the month. He's been raised 3lb for that but Alan Johns' claim takes care of that and he looks the one to beat.
