Verdict

With Nicky Henderson saddling last year’s winner his Valtor is sure to be of interest with a rating of 152 in this sphere. However, he was last seen finishing well down the field in the Grand National and faces some progressive young hurdlers. Redford Road for one has already impressed over timber showing a good attitude when winning at Wetherby while the same could be said of Uttoxeter winner Vinnie Dev with his stable in good form (five of their last 10 runners obliging). PRINCE LLYWELYN is unpenalised and brings some very smart bumper form to the table, the 4th, 5th and 6th from his Newbury second all having won next time out; a winning hurdles debut could be on the cards.
  1. Prince Llywelyn
  2. Redford Road
  3. Valtor
