Verdict

Sky Full Of Stars put a poor run at Sedgefield behind him to score on heavy ground over the course and distance though is now on his highest ever mark as a consequence. A repeat would see him in the frame though he was well and truly put in his place by CASUAL CAVALIER here a year ago and is only 7lb better off. The winner was returning after a break when well beaten at Wetherby in November but didn't weaken until the last and should strip much fitter here. Trust Thomas isn't the most consistent but has managed to win five times over fences including on heavy going here while Mumgos Debut has a similar profile and usually goes well when dropped into this grade. Surprise Vendor has been hurdling and the last time he ran over fences was in April 2016 when he gave Rosquero 15lb and a 3l beating.
