Verdict
CRAIGNEICHE ran green on his hurdling debut at Newbury but was still beaten under nine lengths by the highly-regarded The Big Breakaway. This is a drop in class and Nicky Henderson’s novice should be getting his head in front today granted normal progress. Jonjo O’Neill trained the runner-up in that Newbury race and saddles Meyer Lansky, who only found one too good himself at Chepstow last month. Cubao and Ulverston need more while Eglantier jumped poorly when favourite at Uttoxeter in November, though will know more today.
