Fairly useful on the Flat in France, LIARI is one to note on hurdling debut having joined a yard which has won this race twice in the last 3 renewals. The son of Cracksman is taken to add to Paul Nicholls' tally in the contest, with Balboa setting a clear standard of those who have previously run over hurdles. Whispering Royal is also considered for last year's winning trainer.
