Stowaway Magic (5/6), Delire D'Estruval (5/1), Slanelough (5/1), Hawk High (17/2), Treshnish (9/1)

A small but fairly select field, so a competitive race lies in store. Things didn't exactly go to plan for STOWAWAY MAGIC over fences last season for previous trainer Nicky Henderson, but his ability isn't in question and it's informative that the tongue-tie is now introduced by Dan Skelton. There's little doubt that a reasoned case can be made for any of his four rivals; albeit the Ben Pauling-trained Delire D'Estruval rates as the chief danger on known hurdles form and ratings. Slanelough (stable form), Hawk High (fitness) and Treshnish (grade) all have slight question marks against their respective names at present, but can win races over fences in time.
