In depth
Verdict
Nicky Henderson boasts an impressive strike rate in bumpers at this track and it would be no surprise if FEATHERINTHEATTIC proves good enough at the first time of asking, especially if the betting speaks in his favour. Rock Of Fife is a half-brother to a four winners and he's worth noting along with Staccato Valtat, who is related to the winning hurdler and chaser Edgbriar. Reyes Magos is a half-brother to Sesenta, who won three times over hurdles, and is another to consider.
