In depth
Verdict
Nicky Henderson, who had five entered in this at the five-day stage, relies on Tollbrae. The six-year-old showed enough on his debut over timber to suggest he can make his mark over the smaller obstacles before going chasing. He may have most to fear from Spud One, who attracted plenty of support on his debut over hurdles at Doncaster. He was somewhat disappointing that day, but there may have been an excuse as he hung badly up the straight. Lucky Do, who hails from a stable in form, can be expected to have improved for his first effort over timber, while Henry Daly's hurdling debutante Travellers Heir is one to keep an eye on.
