I don’t believe The New Lion is that good, HDLG. The Turners he won last year doesn’t look like a good race now. He was having to work hard to beat Golden Ace and Anzadam at Newcastle before he fell. And he wasn’t particularly impressive at Cheltenham in January (where he was helped out by his main rival getting injured).
There is talk of the Aintree Hurdle but he had a hard enough race today and I wouldn’t be rushing to back him.
