Claimantakinforgan is the one to beat on balance, and merits respect, but a chance is taken on PINGSHOU on his return from absence. He looked the sort to make a better chaser when winning a Grade 1 over hurdles as a novice, and connections will be keen to strike early with him. Triumph Hurdle winner Defi du Seuil clearly wasn't right last season, and remains with potential.
