Former Champion Chase winner Sire de Grugy is a fascinating runner here but another classy old favourite The New One looks a better alternative with plenty in his favour. That said, Nigel Twiston-Davies' stalwart was pushed to 1L by CLYNE in a tremendous tussle in the Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock last season and Evan Williams' progressive gelding is weighted to turn the tables if fully tuned up for his reappearance.
