Verdict

THOMAS PATRICK proved disappointing as favourite in the Ladbrokes Trophy but his earlier form is rock solid so he is given a chance to redeem himself and crucially the ground here is no issue. Last year's winner Gold Present made an encouraging return here behind Politologue over an inadequate 2m5f but Nicky Henderson's charge prefers a sounder surface so that is the doubt here. Jammin Masters has twice won on heavy ground over hurdles and after his encouraging return on a sounder surface he could be even better now with testing conditions.
