Verdict
Five of the last seven renewals including the last three have been won by Paul Nicholls’ yard and SAINT DE REVE (NAP) will be sharper for last month’s hurdling debut at Exeter. He never threatened stablemate and odds-on favourite Cat Tiger on that occasion but should be bang there at the finish here with improvement expected. Point-to-point winner Glynn debuts under Rules having cost £85,000 and sent to Nicky Henderson and The Bull Mccabe is another winner between the flags debuting over hurdles. Rococo River is penalised for an earlier success at Exeter but Cage Of Fear is a likely improver for a yard in flying form.
