State Man (2/7), Irish Point (7/2), Sir Gerhard (22/1), Colonel Mustard (33/1)
STATE MAN gained yet another Grade 1 when adding the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March to his impressive haul and Willie Mullins' 7-y-o is hard to oppose in his bid to supplement his win in this race 12 months ago. Irish Point ran very well when chasing home the selection at Cheltenham and he comfortably rates the chief threat.
