Verdict

Paul Nicholls can land this Grade 1 for the fourth year in succession courtesy of CAPTAIN TEAGUE, who has made a really bright start to his hurdle career at Grade 2 level in recent months. Willmount looks highly talented and is feared most ahead of Greatwood runner-up Lookaway.

  1. CAPTAIN TEAGUE (IRE)
