Forecasts

William Philo (11/4), Spike Jones (4/1), Learntalot (9/2), Gerico Ville (11/2), Has Troke (6/1), Golden Cosmos (8/1), Jet Smart (12/1), Hurricane Vichi (14/1), Gold Clermont (20/1), Fiamette (40/1)

Verdict

Preference is for WILLIAM PHILO, who appreciated the return to hurdles when finding just one too good at Uttoxeter and this low-mileage 6-y-o probably has more to offer. Learntalot has undergone wind surgery since hitting the crossbar at Wetherby almost 2 months ago and he will be a threat if able to build on that effort. With improvement likely now pitched into a handicap, Jet Smart is also of interest and Spike Jones, a winner at Fontwell on Boxing Day, is another to consider.

  1. WILLIAM PHILO
  2. LEARNTALOT (IRE)
  3. JET SMART (IRE)
