Verdict

HOME FREE offered enough in bumpers last season to suggest he can win races over hurdles so he gets the nod for Dan Skelton. Strutter hasn't achieved quite as much as the selection in his 2 bumpers but Nicky Henderson has won 4 of the last 5 runnings of this race so he's a must for the shortlist. Harry Derham's Salvatore has been off a while but he did show plenty on the Flat in 2022. Pyrotechnic looks pick of those with hurdle experience.
