Verdict

Though Cartmel form doesn’t always travel, there seems little point in opposing recent winner ARDERA CROSS in this as Effet Special, the other who will appreciate underfoot conditions, is having a first run since an ordinary UK debut at Ayr in February. Uptown Funk is having a first run over fences but would have a chance on the pick of his hurdles form.
