Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest with BOOMBAWN selected to come out on top and build on a couple of third-placed efforts at Newbury in November. He's a scopey type and, fresh from a 3-month break, Dan Skelton's charge will take all the beating. Name In Lights is surely going to make a significantly better chaser but he's feared most, ahead of Stormin Crossgales.
