      Verdict

      Le Roi Miguel looks all set to give Tony McCoy and Paul Nicholls a quickfire double. The imposing four year old was a good second in the Tolworth Hurdle at Warwick last season behind Miros, has schooled well for this his first try over fences at home and is taken to score before going on to much better things. He already has a quote of around 14/1 for the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival. One Knight also showed a fair bit of ability over hurdles and looks the main danger but he may struggle to give the weight away to his younger rival. The remainder look out of there depth but at Least Gentle Rivage has experience over fences and will go on the ground so if anything happened to the principals he could be the one to benefit. Twotensforafive won a seller over course and distance last time but needs to improve markedly, while Monte Cristo is from a yard in form but also needs to step up in this company. TEAMtalk cannot oppose Le Roi Miguel.
