Verdict

One of the few races Britain has dominated and the thriving INTO OVERDRIVE looks the pick of the home team. He continued his remarkable progress when immediately resuming winning ways in the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby on Boxing Day and his assured jumping/battling qualities are big attributes for a race of this nature. Corach Rambler was a most impressive winner of this last year and has presumably been kept fresh with this event in mind, with Happygolucky also high on the shortlist.

  1. INTO OVERDRIVE
