Verdict

Paul Nicholls has took this prize for the past two seasons and his new recruit TUTTI QUANTI, who shaped well on his hurdling bow when runner-up in France, looks another strong candidate for the yard. Nicky Henderson's newcomer Joyeuse, a half-sister to the stable's Champion Hurdle heroine Epatante, is feared most with Goonhilly rating a solid place prospect.
