Verdict

A wide-open stayers' handicap with the narrow vote in favour of IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH. He needs to dispel a lesser effort over hurdles in March but largely acquitted himself with credit in stronger company on the Flat last term and, from a reduced mark, he could be ready to strike under Hollie Doyle. Previous C&D winner Land of Winter and The Predictor head up the dangers.
