    Verdict

    COTTON TRADER is making hard work of losing his maiden tag but is difficult to ignore in this nevertheless. He was beaten less than a length when failing to land the odds on his latest start at Lingfield, but gets one more chance here in first-time headgear representing an in-form yard with a terrific strike rate at this track. Artisan was placed in a handicap on the Flat last year and last month's improved effort over hurdles suggests he can figure, but Authentication finished well behind the selection on his debut at Wolverhampton last month though will appreciate the longer trip. Dewala looks up against it having failed to figure in both starts on this surface.
