Verdict

This revolves around 2014 Champion Hurdle winner JEZKI, victory in pleasing style here and he looks destined for another crack at that race next month in the Cotswolds. He had little trouble making a winning return last month and won't need his absolute best to win this race. Tombstone was behind the selection at Naas and may be forced to play a supporting role once more, something he has become increasingly accustomed to. Rashaan ruffled some feathers with his Down Royal win in November, beating a subsequent Grade One winner and last month's Irish Champion Hurdle winner. Conceding weight all around in this company ought to anchor him for now however. 1. Jezki 2. Tombstone 3. Rashaan
