State Man (4/7), Impaire Et Passe (7/4), Echoes In Rain (18/1), Fils D'oudairies (28/1)
STATE MAN may not have been able to live with Constitution Hill in last season's Champion Hurdle but he's clear best of the rest in the 2m division and can land this for the second year running. Impaire Et Passe could be suited by the return to 2m and can give his stablemate most to do.
