Verdict

YGGDRASIL has made a promising start to his chasing career, winning at the first attempt at Bangor in November. The five-year-old followed that effort with a creditable third at Ffos Las and he can resume winning ways with further progress to come. Gemirande also has more to offer on only his third chase start for Venetia Williams, while Zalvados is interesting back down to his last winning mark.
