Verdict

HOT ROD LINCOLN hasn't shown much in 2 hurdle starts this winter but returns to fences off only 1 lb above the mark he defied on testing ground at Uttoxeter last February and might be worth chancing with Sean Bowen doing the steering. Bank On Frank made a sound start to his chase career when runner-up at Fontwell in November, while Prince Cleni has peak fitness to prove but his strong C&D record brings him into the reckoning.

  1. HOT ROD LINCOLN (IRE)
  2. BANK ON FRANK
  3. PRINCE CLENI (FR)
