Tricky maiden hurdle to open proceedings which may go of the way Willie Mullins-trained FENTA DES OBEAUX who may have the race run to suit if chasing Our Legend until time jockey Paul Townend decides to make his move for the finish line on the four-year-old. Christopher Robin, an encouraging third of 20 at Gowran Park last month and second last time out Volatile Lady can emerge as the biggest dangers here while Shadow Board could go well at a price.
