      Verdict

      Bulls Head has a huge weight on his handicap debut and first run for new connections which he hasn't done enough to justify. SKY FULL OF STARS has mainly been racing over fences since running away with a handicap at Ayr a year ago. He's won a couple of times over the bigger obstacles and though running poorly last time can take care of these. Notebook, who has a history of refusing to race, was on his best behaviour when a close third at Wetherby last month and didn't enjoy heavy ground at Catterick so connections will be hoping the rain stays away. It's hard to enthuse about the remainder though Cadore has sunk to such a lowly mark that it wouldn't be a shock to see him go close in a poor contest.
