Verdict

GOOD LAND won what looked an interesting race in very taking fashion here over the Christmas period and looks the type to go on to better things now stepping up in grade, so he gets the nod. Weveallbeencaught saw his Cheltenham form franked last weekend and looks a big threat with further progress on the cards, as does Sandor Clegane following an impressive win at Punchestown.
