      Verdict

      Sister Sibyl was second over 2m here in April after scoring at Cheltenham but stays this longer trip so goes on the short-list. Alan King sent out last year’s winner and TARA VIEW, three times a hurdles winner, is sure to have had plenty of schooling over the larger obstacles - an opening mark of 128 is by no means excessive. Lithic has been placed in three of his four chase starts and fell in the other when making headway. He is not out of this while Dandy Dan was lightly raced over timber and has scope. Okotoks is also worth a market check but Alf 'n' Dor has already had his limitations exposed.
