Verdict
Sky Full Of Stars scored over fences here last month but reverted to hurdles last time and was beaten 5l by Bulls Head, who runs in the previous race so that result should be monitored. Make It Happen was having his first start since September when unseating his rider at the last at Kelso last month. He'd run well for a long way and providing suffering no ill-effects can go well. Pc Dixon has yet to win a race though has gone up 4lb since finishing fourth last time but Surprise Vendor loves it around here and can never be dismissed at this sort of level. OUR LUCAS has only had three starts for current connections and should be losing his maiden tag before long judged on a very good effort behind Rockliffe at Musselburgh. He has the added bonus of the champion jockey in the saddle and this could be his day.
