      Verdict

      DILDAR was struggling to keep tabs on the principles when unseating Ruby Walsh in the Adonis Hurdle at Kempton last time but this represents a significant drop in grade for Paul Nicholls' juvenile and he is probably worth another chance getting 4lb from Lexi's Boy. The latter made all in an Ascot handicap earlier this month but may not want much more rain. Otto The Great made a pleasing UK debut behind Sadler's Risk at Kempton in January but may already need further and the other two look out of their depth.
