Top-class mare who produced a stunning performance to run away with a Grade 2 contest at last year's Cheltenham Festival. Makes her long-awaited seasonal reappearance and should cement her Champion Hurdle claims.
Progressive in handicap company, winning her two starts this season at Ascot and Cheltenham. Has earned a crack at a better race, but faces a huge task against Laurina.

Laurina (1/8), Sensulano (5/1), Smaoineamh Alainn (16/1), Got Away (33/1)
It is a pity that Champion Hurdle second favourite LAURINA has scared off any credible opposition, but it will still be informative to see this top-class mare strut her stuff. It is is hard to see any of her rivals posing a significant threat, but Sensulano is progressive and can secure the runner-up prize at the expense of Smaoineamh Alainn.
