Verdict

The C&D handicap won by HALPHA SOLEIL on Boxing Day looks the key piece of form here. Micky Hammond's charge could have more to offer and is taken to confirm his superiority over reopposing pair Coup de Gold and I'm Too Tired. Robin Goodfellow is worth a try over this trip and also makes the shortlist.

  1. HALPHA SOLEIL (FR)
  2. COUP DE GOLD (IRE)
  3. I'M TOO TIRED (IRE)
