Verdict

ISABEL DE CLARE produced 2 good efforts at Ludlow in the autumn and seemed caught out for lack of stamina rather than anything more sinister when a beaten favourite at Fakenham last month, so is given another chance dropping back down in trip. Pottersmattyeeehaa is still reasonably unexposed and is also shortlisted after an encouraging run at Huntingdon, with Midnight View also considered on the back of 2 in-frame efforts.
