Verdict

Cool Sky won this race last year and he may have needed the run on his all-weather return at Newcastle last month; from 5lb higher than 2017, he can't be ruled out for a yard that do well with their stayers. However, preference is for LIL ROCKERFELLER who has vastly improved over hurdles since last seen on the Flat and there's every chance he's on a lenient mark on his return to this sphere. Piedita is entirely unexposed over this far and the sole filly in the line-up may be capable of better for her shrewd trainer.
