Verdict
Arctic Sky who went off second favourite at Exeter, is better than he has shown so far and it would be no surprise if he was involved in the finish here. Shady Anne, won a poor race, run in awful conditions at Towcester and will face different conditions here. On A Full Wager, with the champion jockey on board, catches the eye. Out of a winning hurdler he would not have to be any great shakes to land this.
