Verdict

Thistle Ask finished runner-up at Naas on his hurdling debut back in February and has undergone wind surgery and switched yards subsequently. But SERGEANT WILSON may have the edge with a recent outing at Chepstow behind the progressive Tahmuras under his belt and the Twiston-Davies’ charge gets the nod. War Soldier wasn’t beaten far when only fourth at Wetherby while Mullinaree makes his hurdling debut for a new yard.
