Just a three-runner race and one that ought to go to Telemoss, who stands head and shoulders above his rivals in terms of form. Good enough to finish a highly-creditable fourth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham, he has also won four hurdles and finished runner-up in a Grade 2 event at Haydock. Highly rated by his trainer, he can get off to a winning start over the larger obstacles. All Sonsilver is lightly raced, won twice over hurdles last year but Telemoss was in a different class over hurdles, cannot be opposed and has to be the TEAMtalk selection. Ned Divine comes here from the pointing fields.
