Verdict
CARD GAME finished well clear of the rest and behind a subsequent winner when third over track and trip on Boxing Day. Malcolm Jefferson's mare gets the nod in this ahead of Chepstow runner-up Oskar's Eva. Episode also ran well when placed at Catterick last month and Sky Full Of Stars makes his debut under Rules having been placed in a point-to-point in November. Huehuecoytle ran too free on his debut and paid the price but better is expected here.
