      Verdict

      Elenika's defeat of Rajdhani Express at Huntingdon in November has worked out well but Paul Nicholls' French import has disappointed since and was given a confidence-booster over hurdles last time. He may struggle to get the better of WHAT A WARRIOR, highly tried since scoring at Bangor in the autumn. He fared a lot better when back in this grade in a handicap at Doncaster last time. Lucaindubai had some decent form over hurdles last season but this will be his first run over fences and for more than a year.
