      Verdict

      Bay Fortuna appeared to run well at Huntingdon after a long absence and could be a factor here if building on that. Irish raiders Global Fert and Emigrated are both worth noting for any market support while Arboretum has taken on a new lease of life since returning to hurdles and is on a hat-trick after victories at Southwell and Market Rasen. The maiden KRISTAL STAR might be worth a small interest having been dropped another 3lb. She has hinted at ability and is worth a try over a longer trip.
