In depth
Verdict
No Collusion has the best bumper form of those on show and is the TEAMtalk selection in this interesting novice hurdle. He showed progressive form last season and is highly regarded by connections. Kymberlya cannot be written off with McCoy aboard. He fell at the last when looking held at Perth on his only British appearance but had previously run well in France. Phildari has the best hurdles form on show and will be better for his recent pipe-opener at Huntingdon. Behrajah comes from a well-related jumping family but seems the type who will do better in time.
