LIEUTENANT GRUBER was beaten just over three lengths by subsequent Grade One Aintree Top Novices' Hurdle winner Pingshou when the pair met at Cheltenham in December and that is outstanding form to bring into this contest. Dan Skelton looks to have found a good opportunity for him to break his duck over hurdles. Jardin Des Plantes and Danseur Du Large looks like the other pair most likely to progress and can fight out the minors, while Present Destiny is an interesting newcomer.
