Verdict

SHINJI was a bumper winner here last season and is fancied to build on the promise of his hurdling debut to make it second time lucky over timber. Star Legend ran well in a Huntingdon handicap last time and sets a reasonable standard for his less-experienced opposition to surpass, with Colonel Whizz also a player, the step up in trip appealing as beneficial.
