In what is as good a race as any on the card, several of these could enhance their claims for the Grade One Cheltenham version of this event next month and NO HASSLE HOFF might be the one for today. Dan Skelton's charge is one of a number who look set to improve again today, though he may not need to do so as much as some others due to the race conditions. Report To Base, Theligny and The Worlds End can battle for the minor honours. 1. No Hassle Hoff 2. Report To Base 3. Theligny
