      Verdict

      Midtech Star has twice finished ahead of Ardamir on the all-weather this year and is much better treated on Turf. However, he’s not managed a single place on this surface so far nor has he made any impact over hurdles so has several questions to answer. Icebuster has also been in action on artificial surfaces but he’s won four times on Turf, including here last June when 2lb higher. Rod Millman’s veteran should give a good account again but EDDIEMAURICE is fit from a campaign hurdling and has won on fast ground so gets the nod as he looks a better bet than Rowlestone Lass at the weights.
