HALCYON DAYS sits at the top of the handicap for a reason, he's essentially a better and more reliable horse (7-25 over fences) than his four remaining rivals. He had excuses when beaten here on his penultimate start - tackled a 2m4f trip against an upwardly mobile winner - but went close back to the minimum trip at Catterick latest. A subsequent 2lb rise in the weights is neither here nor there pitted against these rivals with only Mumgos Debut considered as a realistic threat.
