Verdict
Arrayan is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but likes testing conditions You've Been Mowed has won eight times on the Flat but never over hurdles though she's steadily dropping down the ratings. Zarawi makes his handicap debut after three very moderate maiden runs and the former Dermot Weld inmate is expected to do better. LUKES HILL (NAP) has yet to win but can put that right here as he wasn't beaten far in a big field here in December and produced a good run at Wincanton earlier this month where he stayed on well from the rear. Lyssio likes this sort of ground but hasn't been running well enough to consider.
