      Verdict

      William Of Orange was never travelling at Aintree last month and pulled up but won a decent race at Haydock before that. MIRSAALE has been in terrific form on the Flat since last seen over hurdles. He beat Beeno here last September by more than four lengths and is only 2lb worse off. Another course and distance victory followed in January and he can defy top weight as though Oak Vintage bolted up over fences here last time, he has a lot to find on hurdles form and could face a battle for the lead. Martila may have needed her run at Ayr last month but it’s difficult to make a case for Coolmeen Hill in this company following a lay-off.
