WILLMOUNT went off second favourite for a Grade 1 novice hurdle when last seen just under a year ago so it wouldn't be a shock were an opening mark of 130 to prove generous and he can make a winning return. Best of the remainder may be Knickerbockerglory, who has a decent record fresh and over C&D. Nemean Lion completes the shortlist.
