In depth
Verdict
Prideway has dropped down to an attractive mark and has caught the eye on her last two starts in better company of late so gets a tentative vote against modest opposition in the closer. Mark Brisbourne's mare has been crying out for a return to this longer trip having stayed on strongly over shorter and is partnered by a useful claimer who takes off a further 7lb. Recent course winner Miss Glory Be remains in good form following a narrow defeat (well clear of remainder) at Southwell last weekend but is held by the selection on her outing here on Boxing Day. Anyhow is on a fair mark but is better on the polytrack surface at Lingfield while Cumbrian Princess has been disappointing of late and can't be backed with confidence.
