Verdict
SHAMSAT produced an encouraging display when third on his first start for James Owen at Catterick in January and, with that experience under his belt, he could take a step forward to strike. Anzac Day was a fair performer on the Flat and has to be of interest on his first outing for the O'Neills, while Premier Tenor is a French recruit who warrants plenty of respect for the in-form Skelton team.
Expert View Verdict
PREMIER TENOR won his only start on the Flat in France and has joined a top jumps stable. He can outclass his rivals on hurdling debut if handling the quicker surface. Shamsat was also a soft ground winner on the Flat in France and is likely capable of better than he showed on his first start over hurdles. He can chase the selection home ahead of Eustace Grenier who proved consistent in bumpers prior to placing on his hurdles debut.
