KING'S BUCKS was much improved from hurdling debut when third in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month and has to be considered the one to beat back in less demanding company with further improvement on the cards. Minella Emperor seems sure to build on a promising run at Clonmel, especially now stepping up in trip, while Panjandrum has shown plenty in a pair of bumpers and must enter calculations, too.
