Dishdasha, Moon Star and Bonchester Bridge are the three against the field in this decent handicap hurdle with Dishdasha taken to defy a seven pound penalty. Moon Star has won his last two starts in novice company in good style but is up against more experienced rivls here. Nonetheless he is a progressive type, has not been over-burdened despite his winning run, and can go close. Bonchester Bridge has crept up the weights after scoring at Folkestone in October and has not won since. He is consistent and does have ability, but appears to be weighted past his best. Dishdasha has won three of his last six races, and won with some authority last time. He has run consistently when beaten, and still looks well treated despite his seven pound penalty. The ground may be a little quicker than he likes, but Dishdasha can score again.
