Verdict
Equus Millar looks nothing special on breeding while Whiskey Baron was beaten a long way on his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter so this should rest between previous winners Psychedelic Rock and CKALCO DES LOGES (NAP). Ian Williams’ charge has the more recent form, finishing second at Fontwell last month after winning at Worcester. But Dan Skelton’s novice is rated 5lb higher and was holding his own in much better races last season.
