Verdict

Testing conditions proved no barrier to success for French import EL GAVILAN when getting off the mark over C&D last time and, with the mud likely to be flying once more, he looks capable of doing the business again off this 6 lb higher mark. Reinado evidently goes well with plenty of cut in the ground, too, and he is feared in his hat-trick bid, while the lightly-raced There Runs Mary is also greatly respected.

7	Fair form in France and belatedly scaled similar heights on these shores when opening his account in good style in a heavy-ground C&D handicap earlier this month. 6 lb rise fair enough and another bold show anticipated. 1st Pick 7 El Gavilan (Fr) Jockey: Richard Patrick Trainer: Clive Boultbee-Brooks J: Richard Patrick T: Clive Boultbee-Brooks	99	-	-	-	34%	2/1

5	Showed ability for Colm Murphy in Ireland and has really got his act together for this yard, still right there when falling at the last over C&D in October and subsequently progressed to win handicaps at Uttoxeter and Chepstow. Has predictably shot up the weights but he's a big player nonetheless. 2nd Pick 5 Reinado (Ire) Jockey: Conor O'farrell Trainer: Neil Mulholland J: Conor O'farrell T: Neil Mulholland	100	-	-	-	29%	Scratched

3	Flemensfirth mare who was a fairly useful bumper winner. Bright start over hurdles when winning a soft-ground C&D maiden in November and wasn't disgraced when fourth on handicap bow back here (2½m, heavy) last time. One to consider back down in trip off 1 lb lower. 3rd Pick 3 There Runs Mary (Ire) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murphy	98	-	-	-	17%	5/1
