    Have you heard anything to the contrary?

    I implied that I did not think that "RED MERLIN" would run. Hendersons runners look interesting as do the un-exposed 4 year olds with a weight allowance. Also "TARKARI" may be a suprise package.

    Chaninbar is well weighted and a fair price.

    Poor race imo, and a long way from the race that used to attract proper Champion Hurdle contenders.
    Hard to split many of the field, but Tony McCoy misses some juicy Punchestown rides to steer Remember Now, and it might just be worth taking the hint.

    I think the favourite is a stand out in the rqace for me. 13/2 is a decent price, right profile, as the earlier poster commented, AP comes here instead of Punchestown. Higgys Ragazzo is only a 4yo but the Cheltenham run looks solid enough and if on the improve could be involved. Poorer standard this year.
