Little in the way of form to go on here with only two of the nine runners having seen the racecourse so far, so there's a need to also turn to breeding, sales values and connections to make a selection. La Cavsa Nostra was only 9/2 when contesting a Listed event at Cheltenham in October, and whilst finishing only seventh, this does represent a clear drop in grade. Fin And Game has family ties to Fighting Fifth Hurdle winner Peddlers Cross, and represents the same connections, but the tentative vote goes to CELEBRE D'ALLEN who has joined David Pipe and Allan Stennett for £100,000 recently, and may well have made a winning debut over fences in an Irish PTP at Loughrea in October but for falling at the last when in contention. 1.
