Verdict

Gordon Elliott has dominated this contest in recent years and his ESKYLANE gets the vote to come out on top having been value for more the winning margin on his hurdles bow last month. He's entitled to come on plenty and can enhance his trainer's excellent record. Jungle Junction heads up the dangers after 8 months off, ahead of another exciting prospect in Jesse Evans.
