Verdict

A bumper field of 24 and it would be hard to cross any of them off with confidence, this is as competitive as it gets. Irish Roe has been popular in the betting and does look very well handicapped based on her recent run behind Maria's Benefit at Doncaster, for which she was not penalised. Many of these clashed at Ascot before Christmas, and there's little to separate them on form. Silver Streak fared best of them that day in second and rates a key player now under just 3lb more. Despite heavy burdens Bleu Et Rouge, Verdana Blue and Charli Parcs are all contenders while C&D specialist High Bridge should go well under top weight. Jenkins has turned a corner and arguably headlines Nicky Henderson's five-pronged assault on a race he has won five times in the past. Gary Moore has snared this pot three times in ten runnings and his KNOCKNANUSS could be answer now. He had plenty in hand at Fontwell on Boxing Day and is still on a nice weight here with improvement extremely likely.
