Verdict

A few of these warrant consideration but top of the list is ROOFUL, who looked in really good nick when winning twice over C&D in the autumn and, with hindsight, faced an impossible task when second over 1m here last month. Piffle was also behind a subsequent winner when second on her latest outing and is earmarked as the most likely danger, ahead of Got No Dollars and Hul Ah Bah Loo.[Chris Wilson]
