    Verdict

    The betting may offer some clues to the chances of these newcomers but Jamie Snowdon’s yard is in good form and EYE TO THE SKY is a half-brother to three winning hurdlers including the smart I K Brunel. Santesa is also related to winners and could go well with Spike Jones preferred to Pixie Loc of the remaining pair.
