Zarkandar with race fitness and a four pound pull, fended off the strong travelling Grandouet in a captivating finish to the International trial. There was far from an expected lack of pace as Ruby Walsh intended on making as stiffer test as possible. His dictating tactics probably won him the race on Paul Nicholls’ five-year-old. Despite coming off the bridle first of the big three, he continued to find sticking his head out in front gamely. Grandouet couldn’t quicken on the ground and was eased when held towards the line. Nicky Henderson’s five-year-old who returned to action from a 371-day absence ran a huge race and it’s to no surprise the bookmakers have reacted positively to his two-length loss. They make him a 7/1 shot (from 10’s) for the Champion Hurdle at the festival alongside Zarkandar (from 8’s), with Hurricane Fly shading favouritism at 5/1. Rock On Ruby who tired in the heavy ground is a general 12/1 shot having been 7/1 prior.
