Verdict

Not a very strong race of its type at first glance and it could be a good opportunity for newcomer MELEKHOV to make a winning start to his rules career. Philip Hobbs is enjoying a good season in this discipline and the appearance of the champion up top is very much a positive. Nicky Henderson's runners are always to be respected and both Ligny and Laughing Luis should improve for their debut runs, while Flash The Steel and Rebound are others likely to be in the mix.
  1. Melekhov
  2. Ligny
  3. Flash The Steel
