An exciting early-season clash. The mightily impressive OLD PARK STAR looks the one to beat if reproducing the pick of his hurdling form, with the potential for even better to come over fences. Kabral Du Mathan's only defeat since joining Dan Skelton came when a blatant non-stayer in the Stayers' Hurdle. He's a most worthy adversary with last month's impressive chasing debut success under his belt.
