Verdict

One More Tune hasn't complete in his last five pointing starts and Equus Flight was well beaten on his return to action after a 277-day absence. The market should reflect the chance of the latter as some of his previous form puts him in here with a shout. Nativegetaway was a little better last time but hasn't recaptured the promise of a Chepstow runner-up performance in maiden hurdle company last winter. However, it's interesting Colin Tizzard wastes no time sending him over fences and he could go very well. Nevertheless, SACKETT is the solid option with chasing experience to his name and arriving here on the back of a recent battling Cartmel success.
