Nicky Henderson has made no secret of the high-regard he has for GAITWAY - backed-up by a couple of Cheltenham novice entries - and the lightly-raced seven-year-old could prove a cut above if his recent comeback run from injury at Cheltenham has put him straight. That said, Cesar Et Rosalie and Crackdeloust are two potentially nice recruits to timber who could pick up the pieces should he falter, while Dear Sire and Touch Kick both have hurdling form on the board and should also be competitive. 1. Gaitway 2. Dear Sire 3. Cesar Et Rosalie
