Verdict
Pertuis won twice over course and distance last year including this race. He's back on a winning mark but both those wins came on fast ground. Astra Hall won for the first time since 2013 when successful at Pontefract last time and makes less appeal raised 6lb while Next Edition's victory over 2m at Wolverhampton was also his only success since 2013. Deep Resolve is penalised for winning at Southwell so a chance is taken on QATEA, without a win over hurdles since joining Donald McCain but a winner in testing going on the Flat at Sligo last year and racing off a similar mark today.
