DOCTOR STEINBERG can stretch his unbeaten hurdle record to 3 and provide Willie Mullins with a fifth win in the last 6 runnings of this Grade 1. December's Limerick Grade 2 scorer Kazansky is the mount of Jack Kennedy from the four-strong Gordon Elliott team and may provide the main threat ahead of the selection's stablemate Love Me Tender.
