Verdict

A tricky little contest but it should pay to stay with the in-form WATCHABLE who enters 2020 on the back of his best effort for years and even as a 10yo he looks in good fettle despite the advancing years. Far from a surprise if his purple patch continues here although he will have to be at his best again. Corinthia Knight will appreciate a return to handicaps and the first-time cheekpieces may well see him rediscover some zip. A wind op should help Street Parade but more is needed from him and Tawny Port has to prove himself on this surface. Kick On Kick On deserves respect on his second run for this yard having shaped well last time; he has a win in him at this level.
  1. Watchable
