Verdict
Bardolet scored over hurdles at Carlisle in October but has yet to gain his first success over fences and looked very one-paced at Market Rasen last time. The veteran Arctic Echo has won four times over timber but is another maiden over fences and his jumping has left plenty to be desired. Winning point-to-pointer Bobby Donald has gone 19 races under Rules without winning and makes too many mistakes so GO ON BE A LADY gets a tentative vote on today's better ground as she should at least jump round, has no problems with the trip and has dropped to what looks like a winnable mark.
