Though his well-being has to be taken on trust following a lengthy absence, SURFMAN, who was last seen finishing mid-field in the 2019 French Derby, could be a smart recruit to the hurdling ranks for the Nicky Henderson yard. Bascule has been in fine form on the Flat of late and is another intriguing candidate, but Surfman may have most to fear from Peking Rose and Hardi Du Mesnil.
