A contest that has been dominated by the big stables with Alan King training the winner three times in the last eight years. This time around he’s represented by Sephton who showed up better than his finishing position suggests on his hurdling bow and given the trainer’s record in this race he’s likely to be a leading contender. Rafiot and John Betjeman are two others with hurdling experience although they will both need to improve on what they have accomplished so far. FRASER ISLAND having shown plenty of ability on the Flat has joined Nicky Henderson and he looks just the sort for a juvenile hurdling campaign. Deebee and Sir Canford are two other newcomers who should be respected.
