Verdict

Several of these seem to have very little meaningful chance, but ESKENDASH stands out as a interesting contender. Yet to win over hurdles but potentially unlucky in that regard, he has gone close on each of his last three runs, all on a sound surface, and is now ridden by the Champion Jockey in what rates a major positive for his chances. He is taken to get off the mark here at the expense of Movie Set, who can go well having won at Huntingdon last time out, and the Nicholls horse Choix Des Armes.
