Verdict

Willie Mullins farms this race and with the likes of Nichols Canyon and Sharjah it isn't always the perceived first string that wins it for him. That said Supreme Novices winner KLASSICAL DREAM was an exceptional novice and he can take this first step into unrestricted company in his stride to enhance his Champion Hurdle credentials. Rich Ricci pair Sharjah and Saldier are the dangers with the aforementioned the most pertinent threat with his win in this race 12 months ago a performance of the highest order. Saldier is young enough to make up for lost time; he is a fascinating prospect.
