Verdict

Trainer Dan Skelton's horses have been in good form of late and his filly HESTINA can record a second victory here having won at this track last month. The four-year-old followed up in a handicap at Huntingdon subsequently and can complete her hat-trick at the chief expense of Holly Bush Henry who wears cheekpieces for the first time today on his return to hurdles following a spell chasing. Of the remainder Zulu Oscar has won off a higher mark in the past and can claim third here.
  1. Hestina
  2. Holly Bush Henry
  3. Zulu Oscar
