Nicky Henderson has captured this prize with some very promising sorts and his Irish point scorer SOOMAROY is taken to make a winning start in this sphere and add to that list. Harry Derham's Hereford victor Military Alliance rates the pick of those with hurdling experience and appeals as the chief threat, although Ice In The Veins could take a step forward now reverted to 2m and also commands plenty of respect.
