      Verdict

      Pirate Flagship and Senorita Rumbalita look set to dominate the betting here with the former preferred. A three-time winning hurdler that achieved a rating of 128 over the smaller obstacles, Pirate Flagship looks the one to beat for Paul Nicholls and Ruby Walsh. Senorita Rumbalita, whose rating was even higher at its best on 132, rates as a very strong and obvious opponent. A 118-rated winning hurdler in May, Enhancer could prove best of the rest, but the vote stays with Pirate Flagship.
