Verdict
CUTE N YOU KNOW IT has been alternating between hurdles and fences for the past year, mainly over longer trips, but showed her best form for some time when dropped back to today's distance at Wetherby in January. Andy Crook's mare is hardly prolific but she won't get many better chances than this. Overyou is still a maiden but came closest to winning a race over this C&D last month when just touched off by Night In Milan when Lochore was tailed off. She's 6lb higher here but should go well in what is a very moderate event. Final Veto's last success came in December 2008 when he scored at Wetherby from a 14lb higher mark. There's a good reason for the drop in weights but he's been given a chance here and will get a good ride from Shane Byrne.
