Verdict

Former Champion Chase winner Sire de Grugy is a fascinating runner here but another classy old favourite The New One looks a better alternative with plenty in his favour. That said, Nigel Twiston-Davies' stalwart was pushed to 1L by CLYNE in a tremendous tussle in the Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock last season and Evan Williams' progressive gelding is weighted to turn the tables if fully tuned up for his reappearance.
  1. Clyne
  2. The New One
  3. Sire De Grugy
