PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
E Master has misfired in his past four starts after a good third to Gentle Breeze over the Valley 1,000m in November but can show his true colours with a return to the level of two Valley wins and two seconds from five starts last term. Gate's not a major hurdle for the late-running type. Navas has been in the mix both times over this C&D but has had a start-and-stop preparation following lameness in early-November and again late last month. He's clearly capable on his day at this level and a big run would not surprise. Compassion Star has returned to form to place in his past two of four C&D runs in this grade after a Class Five win in September and should map well from his gate. Lightly raced All Times Grateful ran on steadily fore of midfield for a non-threatening third behind the ever-improving Victory In Hand with rival Navas in fourth in his initial try over the Valley 1,200m last month but will need luck from his gate.
