This looks likely to be between Sceau Royal and MOVEWITHTHETIMES. The former won nicely on chasing debut last time out, getting the better of Ballyhill on that occasion, but things fell apart from him rather quickly last season and there's no saying that the same won't happen this campaign. The selection impressed with a very game second in the Betfair Hurdle but has always looked a chaser and can open his account here on his first run over the larger obstacles. Last year's Greatwood Hurdle winner North Hill Harvey may be next best.
