Verdict

September's course and distance fourth Sky Watch has yet to make the frame in five tries over fences. YA HAFED scored over track and trip in May and is only 4lb higher. His stamina is assured so he gets the nod with The Cider Maker looking a risky opposition given he was tailed off over this sort of trip over hurdles at Warwick in the spring and only second in a weak contest at Wincanton on his reappearance. Winged Express should stay, however, so has a squeak and makes more appeal than Time Is Tickin and Yes I Will.
