Verdict

GALLOPADE showed plenty of ability when easing clear under this rider at Fakenham on debut in November and is taken to defy a penalty. Horizon Dove hails from a yard that has a good record in bumpers so must be respected, while the other penalised-winner Presenting Nelly will find this easier than the listed event she contested at Huntingdon.
