Verdict
Despite winning here in May, Kuilsriver doesn't have a penalty and is the pick on his best form over hurdles. He may be having a confidence-booster before going back over fences, however, while Regal One may struggle to give the weight away and Mr Watson looked ready for a step up in trip when fifth at Cheltenham, though is taking on lesser opposition now. Mister Newby was second to Pendra over C&D on his hurdling debut but a long way behind BALLINCURRIG in a Southwell bumper last April. Something was clearly amiss with the latter at Wetherby last time and he's given another chance here, though Ourmanmassini is worth noting for future reference.
