Verdict

A host in with chances but ROUND THE BUOY arrives at the top of his game having won similar big-field handicaps in recent weeks. The handicapper has taken a huge swipe but he may not have finished improving. Siberian Star ran away with what looked a competitive handicap chase here in December so he's feared most back over timber, ahead of Smash The Lamp and A Different World.

  1. ROUND THE BUOY
  2. SIBERIAN STAR
  3. SMASH THE LAMP (IRE)
