Verdict

MARTELLO SKY arrives on an upward curve so Lucy Wadham's likeable mare gets the nod on the back of her cosy Cheltenham handicap success. Willie Mullins' returning Gauloise still has few miles on the clock and is greatly feared, while last year's winner Whitehotchillifili needs considering too after posting a promising reappearance sixth over C&D.
