      Verdict

      Lady Bluesky was much improved on the Flat last year and was always travelling strongly when coming good over hurdles at Hexham last week. Alistair Whillans' mare is only 2lb higher here and has ground conditions in her favour again but we just prefer OUEST ECLAIR. He won a much stronger contest at Warwick 11 days ago and runner-up Rare Symphony franked the form at Kempton earlier this week. The others have little to recommend them on these terms.
