Verdict

MYSTIC SKY (NAP) won by 13 lengths the last time she raced in this grade. She’s won twice around here and has her ground so is hard to oppose. Hope's Wishes can be forgiven her run in a Listed race last time and is usually thereabouts. But she generally prefers some give in the ground while Versifier has only been placed once in four starts over hurdles and was beaten 17 lengths in that. Pretty Rose has finished unplaced at Fontwell since scrambling home at Huntingdon but is still preferred to Sureness and Amron Kali.
