PROBABLE S.P.’s 4-1 Wise Move (IRE), 9-2 Avalon Beach (IRE), Devon Skies (GB), 11-2 Byron Hill (IRE), 6-1 Abbey Scope (GB), 12-1 Maggies Boy (IRE), 14-1 Express Run (IRE), 25-1 Achnamara (GB)
THE TIMEFORM VIEW ABBEY SCOPE could do with brushing up his jumping but he’s well treated from this opening mark given he managed to win a bumper so he could be the answer with this trip sure to suit. Byron Hill looks a solid rival, while Devon Skies had a productive autumn and is likely to bounce back from a heavy defeat.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW The one with the most appealing prospects is FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD, who chased home a progressive type on her reappearance at Uttoxeter and again came up against some upwardly mobile types when third at the same course on New Year’s Eve.
