Formscan  - A C&D handicap on New Year's Day might hold the key to this contest, with Flying Fletcher faring best of those who reappear in second. However, third home THE GREEN MAN can reverse the form. Slowly away before meeting trouble when attempting to challenge, Phil Kirby's gelding may well have won and is taken to gain compensation. Criminal Shore appears best of the remainder.
