    Verdict

    ACE MASTER and Arkaim finished first and second respectively over C&D last month and look set to fight this one out. The former made all last time and Roy Bowring's charge could well follow up despite the worse terms if allowed his own way in front once again. The disappointing Hilbre Court and Expuntia finished further behind the selection last month and tough filly So Is She makes more appeal as she's scored over hurdles since finishing runner-up over C&D in November.
