Verdict

Just the sole race on the round course before the daylight fades on this Twilight fixture. This looks a tricky contest to solve in which a number of the runners have some sort of claims. Wishing Well has been absent since her 2m success at Ripon in June, but couldn't be dismissed given her trainers current fine run of form. Royal Reserve is consistent, albeit racing from a rising mark, whilst the blinkers could assist Gallifrey who proved that she stays this trip in a decent contest at Salisbury in August. However, the 1m2f contest here on November 23rd won by Paddyplex provides the strongest clues. X Rated (seventh) didn't quite deliver on the promise shown on his previous start at Kempton, and is worth another chance, but the fourth placed horse in that contest ZABEEL STAR looks the one to be with tonight as he tries 1m4f for the first time since joining Karen McLintock.
  1. Zabeel Star
  2. Gallifrey
  3. Wishing Well
