Verdict

SIZING COAL ran a sound race behind the impressive Gilgamboa at Down Royal on Boxing Day, with the winner franking that form since. He represents the winning trainer/jockey team that landed this contest 12 months ago and is likely to take some stopping this afternoon. Eddies Miracle impressed winning a point-to-point last month, while the youngster of the pack, Le Braye, has also scored in that sphere this winter and is one to note now going chasing for new trainer Gavin Cromwell. The veteran Salsify won this in 2016 and makes his seasonal bow today. Now a teenager, he may be vulnerable.
