      Verdict

      ARCTIC WINGS hasn't raced on the Flat since finishing third to Bold Adventure over track and trip in February but he's been keeping decent company over jumps and may enjoy a fitness advantage over course specialist Mujamead. Sacco D'Oro was second over hurdles at Bangor earlier this month but is very one-paced and has a poor strike rate while Corvette is still 2lb higher than when scoring over 1m6f here in March. Hoar Frost is preferred to Feeling Peckish of the others.
