Paul Nicholls has won this twice in the past four years and he runs Coillte Lass here who returns to the scene of her best run although she will need to improve on her recent chasing form. Unison will have to improve on his recent career best and may face some pressure from the front this time. Both Hurricane Hollow and Caid Du Lin have form in decent handicap hurdles with the former looking to have a better chance. Our Merlin has shown some remarkable improvement in handicaps this season although the handicapper looks to have him in his grasp now. BLACK MISCHIEF now makes his handicap debut with the tongue-tie going on for the first time and that may help him finish off his race better this time having travelled well last time out.

- Hurricane Hollow
