Verdict

Percy Willis finally opened his account with a victory at Newcastle but is penalised 5lb. ALJARYAAL is preferred as he won on this surface at Wolverhampton in November and has been raised only 2lb for scoring at Kempton last time. Temur Khan was in good form on the Flat before going hurdling though his earlier course wins came on the old Fibresand surface while Elhafei will be sharper for last month’s outing and makes more appeal than Eagle's Realm over today’s trip.
