Nicky Henderson sent out last year’s winner and Broomfield Burg returns to action having scored at Warwick on his hurdling bow. But the latter is penalised for that success and CHANCYCOURT may take advantage having gone close in a bumper at Worcester last month on his debut under Rules. Silent Revolution has won a bumper and undergone wind surgery since last in action and makes his hurdling debut along with Worcester runner-up Boombawn while Kepy Blanc may prove best of the rest.
