Verdict

The staying hurdle scene has lacked a standout performer in recent seasons, so it could pay to take a chance on AIR OF ENTITLEMENT, who made it back-to-back Cheltenham Festival wins in the Martin Pipe last month and Henry de Bromhead's mare could well have even more to offer now stepping up to 3m. Honesty Policy was behind Home By The Lee in the Stayers' Hurdle last month, but he's fancied to reverse those placings here, while Jingko Blue looks another interesting contender, also.
