      Verdict

      Young Jackie won this in 2013 off a higher mark but has not scored since. The veteran Megalala won twice over track and trip last year and popped-up at 16/1 at Lingfield last time when just getting the better of Charlies Mate. The latter re-opposes on more favourable terms but HONEY BADGER (NAP) is preferred given he was beaten only a head over course and distance on his handicap debut and has plenty of scope for further progress. To The Sky won over fences in April but his only win on the Flat came in Ireland back in 2012.
