      Verdict

      Sitting Back has a shocking strike-rate and hasn't run for well over a year but would probably win this in a canter if anywhere near fully fit as all-weather winner Edgar fell on his only previous try over fences and didn’t manage a place in five runs over hurdles. KILLABRAHER CROSS won and was placed over further here in the autumn. He's been waiting for the better ground and looks the one to beat as Topthorn and Nouailhas are moderate in the extreme.
