A race billed as one of the strongest Fighting Fifth's in a generation, so let's hope the action doesn't disappoint. Samcro took just about all before him during an exceptional novice season but is on a retrieval mission following setbacks at Punchestown and Down Royal. His nemesis Bedrock had the advantage of race-fitness when landing the WKD Hurdle at Down Royal and this more galloping track should play to the strengths of the Gordon Elliott-trained runner. Supreme Novices' winner Summerville Boy kicks-off his season in at the deep end of the pool, so all things considered the safest advice is to stick with the brilliant reigning Champion Hurdler BUVEUR D'AIR.
