Verdict

Fairly useful Flat performer AZAHARA PALACE showed plenty in her first two starts over hurdles and she can improve now handicapping. Soldier's Leap won twice in the autumn and gave his all in more competitive company at Newbury last time, while Swinging London wasn't ideally placed at Kempton where the pace held up but can do better eased slightly in grade. Two Auld Pals and Russian Virtue are others to note in a competitive race.

  1. AZAHARA PALACE
  2. SOLDIER'S LEAP (IRE)
  3. SWINGING LONDON (IRE)
