      Verdict

      SKY PIRATE (NAP) has a penalty but it's difficult to imagine that Jonjo O'Neill's improving four-year-old won't extend his unbeaten record given he was too good for an odds-on favourite at Worcester on his hurdling debut. The second had won by 19 lengths around here in September. Mackie Dee is already looking exposed but Marten beat a subsequent hurdles winner in a Warwick bumper last December before trying his luck in Listed company. The remainder look up against it.
