Verdict
ABINGWORTH scored over course and distance recently and has his ground again. Another bold bid is expected given Gary Moore’s yard is flying at present. Flemen's Tipple has gone close over longer trips here lately and Monty's Award is another dropping down in distance having completed a double at Huntingdon in October. Andapa has had a breathing operation since placing at Uttoxeter and Forest Jump represents last year’s winning yard and is preferred to stablemate Invictus De Brion.
