A half-brother to two winners over jumps, UNDERSUPERVISION (NAP) changed hands for £130,000 after winning on his debut between the flags in October and there will be some long faces at Nigel Twiston-Davies’ yard if he fails to put modest opposition to the sword in this. Everything Now has the best hurdles form on offer and should make the frame again but Ranieri is probably best watched making his debut under Rules after a break. None of the others make much appeal.
