James Ewart saddled a top weight to victory in this two years ago so Sky Full Of Stars, successful over hurdles and fences this season, is worth a second look. Pekanheim ran poorly over timber at Musselburgh last time but had won over the larger obstacles at the same track earlier. My Idea ran his best race for a while at Newcastle earlier this month but Don Franco hasn’t really taken to fences so far. MISS CONWAY is only a pound higher than when scoring here last summer. This may be her time of year so she gets a tentative vote with Roxyfet proving expensive to follow and Morning Time lacking a recent run.
