Verdict
There didn't appear to be any fluke about Young Victoria's win at Towcester last month but she could be opposable under her penalty here. Secret Past comes into the argument on his close-up third at Towcester in November, while Navan runner-up Hildisvini has his first start for Charlie Longsdon. But the best form appears to belong to GOSPEL PREACHER, who ran on strongly once the penny dropped on his debut at Newbury in November. Newcomers Hawk Run and Themilanhorse both represent powerful stables and are others to consider.
