MARTELLO SKY was well on top from a subsequent winner on her Fakenham hurdling debut, so she looks the way to go with further improvement likely. Art Approval made a mistake at a crucial stage in a competitive Cheltenham handicap in November, so needs marking up on that run, with Across The Line next on the list.
