Reve looked unlucky last time and should get involved, while Southern Sam and Larkbarrow Lad shaped well on their hurdling debuts and ought to improve. However, recent course runne-up Igor and GALLAHERS CROSS give Nicky Henderson a strong hand and the latter is readily preferred on his hurdling debut. Ask Dillon is worth a market check on his jumping bow.
