      Verdict

      CELESTIAL HALO remains as good as ever and won the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury in good style on his comeback. He remains clear of the field on today's terms despite a penalty and can take this on his way to another crack at the World Hurdle at Cheltenham. Two Rockers has lost his way since landing the Prestige on this card last year while Restless Harry has yet to improve on his victory in this contest in 2012, although he did win over fences last month. He is also entered at Ascot, however, like Two Rockers. Cross Kennon won the 2011 renewal but hasn't scored since but Lienosus returned to winning ways at Taunton last time though, along with Mickie and Quartz De Thaix, has been found wanting in Grade 2 company before. Seeyouatmidnight has won both starts over hurdles but faces his first real test after scoring at Musselburgh last time.
