All of those with just one run under their belts should improve for the experience. Koultas King made a good start at Ayr while Evans Wood found 1m6f too short at Huntingdon and this is more like his trip. Go Set Go hails from a yard better known on the Flat but made a promising debut at Fontwell in October and should have more basic speed than most. Anything Nicky Henderson saddles in these events must be considered and Dark Shadow, a son of Royal Applause, is no exception. Medinas is a French-bred who will be suited by a set of hurdles in the future while Henry Daly won this a couple of years ago and his Mr Robinson, who is related to numerous winners over jumps, is definitely one to keep an eye on. SILVER STIRRUP is by High Chaparral and closely related to the useful hurdler Won In The Dark. He's owned by the Coolmore syndicate and is taken to make a winning start in a tough finale for punters.
