Verdict
Colliers Court has won far more races than his five opponents but was well beaten on his reappearance so looks best watched and of more interest may be Jonjo O'Neill's three time winner Benefit Game, who has slipped to a fair mark but is out of form at present. Don McCain's Arcadia Boy is only 6lb higher than when scoring at Stratford in August but was pulled up on his only subsequent start and is hard to back with any confidence. Irish point winner Rebel Hunter has been running consistently well but seems a shade high in the weights, while Wingull looks on a fair mark but has yet to win from 13 starts. The vote then goes the way of Sue Smith's KILKENNY ALL STAR, who has only won once form 28 starts but he has been given a chance by the handicapper and can give weight away all round.
