Verdict

The unbeaten Monbeg Legend is much-respected returning from a break for Nicky Henderson's team but he is dipping his toe in deeper waters now meeting the smart and consistent IRVING. He chased home the Champion Hurdle favourite in the Fighting Fifth on his reappearance and looks to be suited by the conditions here. The claim of Bryony Frost eases his weight concession his class may out these rivals. Boite ran well at Wincanton on Boxing Day and should do so once more after a wind op. Cole March is worth a look on debut for new yard while General Ginger has a chance at his best on these terms.
