Arctic Sandy has been in fine fettle in the point-to-point field of late and should go well on this return to regulation fences despite being 3lb out of the handicap. Gatflax takes a drop in class but still looks weighted up to his best but Minster York and Kimdaloo both ran promisingly last time with preference for the latter who handles the conditions and may have too much pace for Andrew Crook's charge over his optimum trip.
