A microcosm of the race it is a trial for with no standout contender in the field, it may be worth taking a chance on Irish raider DARASSO. An easy winner of a Grade 3 hurdle last season, he may have some niggles but is highly thought of by his trainer and should find the ground no hinderance. Pentland Hills sets the form standard and would be strongly fancied for the Champion Hurdle if he was to win convincingly, however his tame finish last time is concerning. While Cornerstone Lad now suffers a Grade 1 penalty but is sure to set the pace while Ballyandy has been holding his form well at this level and trip throughout the season and is set for another solid placed effort.
