Verdict

SWORD OF FATE showed better signs over fences here last time and is worth siding with to strike off what is a good mark back hurdling based on the form he showed last summer. Tokaramore made a sound return to hurdles when runner-up at Hexham under Ailsa McClung last time and should be thereabouts again, while Eclair des Sablons would also need considering if the market vibes are strong back from a break in refitted headgear.
