Comment: Won this in 2023, didn't run in it last year; lost unbeaten hurdling record when falling mid-race in last month's Champion Hurdle and he made a bad mistake at the final flight when winning Cheltenham Grade 2 (2m1f, soft) in January; there's a worry he'll produce another major blunder and he hasn't matched his brilliant peak RPRs when winning twice this season, but he still beat Lossiemouth by just over 2l in the Grade 1 Christmas Hurdle at Kempton (2m, good) in December and is a leading player granted a clear round.

5/4

Comment: Missed a golden opportunity in the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, instead running in the Mares' Hurdle (2m4f, good to soft) in which she was extremely impressive; fell mid-race in the Irish Champion Hurdle in February and beaten just over 2l by Constitution Hill in the Christmas Hurdle; however, she wasn't seen to best effect around Kempton's sharp 2m and is 4-4 at about this trip, all in Grade 1s; no surprise if she turns the tables.

17/2

Comment: Made it 7-7 over hurdles with something to spare in the Martin Pipe Handicap at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, good to soft); has also won on good ground; faces tougher task in first Grade 1 but this 5yo could have more to offer and is the likeliest to pick up the pieces if the big two misfire.

Comment: Enjoying a fine campaign, winning a Grade 2 mares' hurdle at Ascot (1m7f, good) in January and finishing third in the Mares' Hurdle at last month's Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, good to soft); however, she was no match for easy winner Lossiemouth last time and would be a surprise winner today.

Comment: Easily won two novice hurdles at Huntingdon (2m, good/good to soft) last season and reappeared with respectable fourth in Grade 1 Fighting Fifth at Newcastle; the step up in trip may suit this 3m point winner but he has bundles to find on form and was pulled up in the Morebattle Handicap latest.

Comment: Went close in handicaps (1m7f/2m, good/good to soft) for Nicky Henderson towards end of last year and posted another good second on stable debut in a Grade 3 at Gowran Park (2m, soft) in February; it's possible today's trip will suit this 3m point winner but lots of improvement is needed.

Comment: 5yo who has been running creditably in defeat this season and was in the mix in the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January when falling at the final flight; also effective on good to soft (unproven on good); however, others need to underperform if he's to reward each-way backers.
