Verdict

SLATE LANE came clear with one who has plundered a couple of decent prizes over fences since when completing a hat-trick at Newton Abbot in September so even a 14 lb rise may not prevent the Emmet Mullins-trained 5-y-o from going in again. Emitom was nicely clear of the rest when second on his Newbury reappearance so he's much respected off the same mark. Last month's Aintree 1-2 Crambo and Santos Blue are also on the shortlist along with Fine Margin, a new recruit for the Willie Mullins yard.
