      Verdict

      Though second in four of his last five outings, Ar Mest is now 0-13 over fences. Winning hurdler Diamond Rose isn’t getting any younger and the far less-exposed STEADY THE SHIP is fancied to confirm last month’s course and distance running, despite worse terms. Champagne Terri doesn’t look a chasing type but Capricia was still travelling when falling at Leicester in January and has been given plenty of time to recover.
