French-recruit LA PINSONNIERE sets the bar pretty high for a race like this and can make a winning start for the Nicky Henderson yard. French Emperor made a promising start to his hurdle career at Lingfield recently and can fight it out for minor honours with Starcrossed Lover, a new recruit for the Neil Mulholland stable, and Boston Boy.
