Verdict

The front-runner KELCE (nap) ran well a lot more often than not in 2025, with his sole blip coming on heavy ground at Cheltenham, and he earns the vote. Irish challenger Sammy Smart could be a big danger, however, on the back of his big-field win at Punchestown. Rexem kept on strongly for second over 2m4f here on the New Year's Day, while Special Rate was runner-up over C&D on his stable debut and is another to consider.[Ben Hutton]
