KLIMT MADRIK was runner-up in last season’s Challow Hurdle at Newbury and not only does he set the standard on hurdles form, he has long appealed as the type to make an even better chaser. He gets the vote, with 4-time hurdles winner Scorpio Rising another good chasing prospect despite his Grade 1 flop and Talk To The Man also likely to do better this season.
