Verdict
The three principals all raced in the Relkeel at Cheltenham last month when Newbury winner First Street came out best in third. But a different result is likely back over this shorter trip on faster going and fourth-placed KNAPPERS HILL can turn the tables. Paul Nicholls’ charge landed the Elite Hurdle on good to firm over track and trip in November and gets the vote on that form despite the penalty. The Greatwood Hurdle winner I Like To Move It will also appreciate the drop back in distance and is not out of this but Global Citizen will do well to figure on these terms.
