Low mileage 5-y-o HALIC improved again when just failing at Wolverhampton in November and has more to reveal now handicapping. Vega Sicilia remains one to be interested in having just lost out at Southwell, while the veteran Tralee Hills took a step back in the right direction when a close third over C&D 2 weeks ago.
