Verdict

Ardashir, Ryders Storm, and Vandas Choice are three against the field in this beginners chase and the confident vote goes to Ardashir. The selection won well last time when defeating Indy Mood in a novice hurdle. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and although this trip he is taken to score in what looks a poor race. Ryders Storm rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Saby last time and that form has since been franked but he continues to be beset by jumping problems and so he can not be backed with any confidence. Vandas Choice is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Quazar but he is far from consistent and that was a less competitive affair so he is passed over. Of the remainder Kharak is another with chances on his best hurdles form but he may just need the run after a 169 day absence. Shannon's Pride is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Ardashir.
