Verdict

The market should reveal plenty here but the vote goes to PREMIER TENOR who scored on the Flat in France on his sole outing to date and now starts out hurdling for the powerful Dan Skelton team. Shamsat shaped well on his hurdling bow when third at Catterick and is next on the list ahead of the Olly Murphy-trained duo L'Amalric and Eustace Grenier.
