It could be another winner for Paul Nicholls in this race with dual bumper winner ERITAGE. He has lots of relatives who have won over hurdles and if translating his bumper form, will be hard to beat. Escapability showed a fair level of form on the Flat and should have no problems with this trip or ground on hurdling debut whilst Namib Dancer learnt plenty from his debut last time and could improve again over hurdles.
