      Verdict

      SWISS ART is probably the only one of these totally effective on soft ground and, despite some moderate recent form, is probably capable of giving weight to this bunch if his jumping holds up. Peaks Of Fire won on heavy going at Sedgefield earlier in the year but has shown little since. Finch Flyer is still a maiden over fences and has gone up 4lb since his second at Ludlow but Mad Professor is back on a fair mark, though lacks a recent run.
