Effectively a straight match between Overthetop and the French Furze Novices' Hurdle winner PRINCE KAYF. Olly Murphy's Flemensfirth gelding has his sights lowered to a more realistic level after struggling to make his mark in the Grade 2 Winter Novices' Hurdle at Sandown, but a ready preference is for the Keith Dalgleish-trained runner. He travelled supremely well (before clouting the final flight) when edging out the promising Imperial Alcazar and Espoir De Romay here (2m6f) five weeks ago, with that form given a direct boost by the runner-up scoring at Cheltenham on New Year's Day.
