Verdict
Champagne Pink bids for a hat-trick of course wins raised a further 4lb while Zoffany Bay is upped 6lb after winning at Chelmsford. Broughtons Story scored over 1m2f at Yarmouth in October and Sir Gnet was beaten only a length when fourth over the same distance at Lingfield last time. But MAC O’POLO was having his first start since the summer when placing over a mile here recently and Tom Dascombe’s charge gets the vote with further progress expected over this longer trip.
