AGES OF MAN failed to make any impact in the Triumph at Cheltenham when last seen but his Fairyhouse third prior to that suggests he can win a race of this nature so he gets the vote on his reappearance. Aide de Camp and Western Commandor have achieved enough in bumpers to think they can make an impact in a race like this now hurdling. Sheephaven Flyer represents a leading stable which has won the last 2 runnings of this so he'd also enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's fancied.
