Verdict
GLIMPSE OF GALA has shown enough in her 2 starts over fences a year apart to suggest she can be very competitive off her current mark, especially now upped in trip. Roll With It and Hauraki Gulf head the dangers.

VerdictImproved model for new yard this season, running out a 10-length winner at Worcester in September. Produced another solid effort when third at Wetherby 2 weeks ago and marathon trip may well suit.

VerdictHit the target twice in handicaps chases at Lingfield last season, latterly demonstrating strong stamina reserves with success over 29f in February. Unable to reproduce that since but shaped as if in reasonable heart after 7 months off when remote second at Plumpton 2 weeks ago.- 4. Hauraki GulfJ: Chris WardT: Deborah ColeF: 1314U-222

VerdictWon twice in handicaps last season and shaped as if back in good form when runner-up at Newton Abbot (25.8f) in May. Decent efforts over hurdles this autumn so respected back chasing with step up in trip in his favour.

VerdictFinally opened her account when landing a 12-runner handicap chase here (3¼m, good) in May and followed up narrowly on return at Plumpton last month. Hat-trick may prove beyond her.

VerdictDual hurdles winner in 2022/23 who made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Worcester 12 months ago. Struggled over hurdles after but was a good second back chasing in the same race at Worcester last month. Step up in trip will suit and opening mark in this sphere looks a fair one.
