Verdict

Former Champion Hurdle runner-up ARCTIC FIRE would dismiss these rivals with contempt should he retain the majority of his ability. We haven't seen him for a while but he is only nine-years-old and gets the nod to prove his well-being. Woodland Opera is a useful chaser not without hopes over the smaller obstacles while Flaxen Flare will be dangerous if given a handy time in front. Good Thyne Tara is in form and not one to bypass for connections.
  1. Arctic Fire
  2. Flaxen Flare
  3. Good Thyne Tara
