A good renewal of this Grade 1, with a plethora of talent on show including Summerville Boy who won a Supreme Novices' Hurdle. Nube Negra has made an impressive start to his chasing career, and despite the marked rise in grade, he would be dangerous to dismiss with the speedy nature of this track likely to play to his strengths. Despite blowing up two starts ago, Torpillo bounced back in good style when making a winning chasing debut, and he receives weight all round. However, the selection is GRAND SANCY who makes his chasing debut in a Grade 1, but was a 152-rated hurdler. If able to translate that ability to fences he could spring a minor surprise.
- Grand Sancy
- Torpillo
- Nube Negra
