Verdict
Ardera Cross and SWORD OF FATE are both seeking a third course victory. The top weight arrives in much the best form and can get his head back in front. We'll Go Again is a versatile sort who was second on his only run over fences but Restandbethankful is 0-6 in chases, though will have ground and trip to suit today. Line Of Descent finally got his head in front at Stratford but could have done without a 5lb rise in the ratings.
