Verdict
Shantou Prince and Tasheba are both recent winners between the flags but the former is making his debut under Rules and the latter hasn’t won over regulation fences since 2012. Thetalkinghorse won this last year and warmed up for a repeat with victory in a Mens Open at Broadheath. He has 4lb more to carry but looks a threat to ARDEA. Justin Landy’s charge came up against useful hunter chasers here and at Doncaster last month and deserves to get his head back in front.
