The market will no doubt reveal plenty here but it's worth siding with fairly useful bumper winner ONE TRUE KING to make a winning start over hurdles for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Perfect Predator rates much the pick of those with hurdling experience so looks a big danger, although another hurdling newcomer Shantou Express is also worth a second look given the promise he showed in bumpers.
