Verdict

A number with claims in a competitive handicap. COLONEL MANDERSON didn't kick on for his previous stable, yet supported in the betting, was still in a share of second when unseating 4 out over fences at Fontwell in October and he's not one to give up on just yet back over hurdles. He earns the vote, with Kendelu, Carry On The Magic and Flutiste.

  1. COLONEL MANDERSON (FR)
  2. KENDELU (IRE)
  3. CARRY ON THE MAGIC (IRE)
