THE NEW LION
1/1111-F13
Unbeaten in 4 starts as a novice and particularly impressive in Baring Bingham at Cheltenham. Put heavy comeback fall behind him when winning Grade 2 at Cheltenham. Ran up to best when third in Champion Hurdle after, shaping as if return to this longer distance will suit. Leading contender. |

BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD (FR)
1114-3212
Very smart mare who got her career back on track in no uncertain terms this winter, taking advantage of a below-par Lossiemouth for a fourth Grade 1 success in the Irish Champion at Leopardstown. Beaten only by that rival in Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham since and big shout back up in trip. |

EL FABIOLO (FR)
2/F2F-F151
Top-class chaser though often let down by jumping. Campaigned over hurdles this season, showing smart form when winning a couple of minor events. Probably has a bigger performance in him over the smaller obstacles and skipping Cheltenham could work in his favour. |
9/2 | 9/2 | 9/2 | 4/1 | - | - | 5.9 |

ALEXEI (GER)
48-211314
Has thrived this season, bagging third win in Grade 2 Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton. Ran a cracker when fourth in Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, challenging for a place when making a mess of the last. However, this longer trip not sure to benefit him as much as Brighterdaysahead and The New Lion. |
8/1 | 15/2 | 17/2 | 15/2 | - | - | 10.5 |

GOLDEN ACE
311-22125
Scaled new heights when landing Champion Hurdle a year ago, albeit a fortunate winner. Comeback win in Fighting Fifth was also aided by a couple of high-profile fallers and showed where she is in the pecking order when fifth in this year's Champion. Others likely more suited by this longer trip. |

POTTERS CHARM (IRE)
115-F3411
Won his first 5 starts over hurdles last season, including a Grade 1 novice here (17f). Even better form this term, resuming winning ways in class 2 at Windsor before landing odds in Grade 2 at Fontwell. Bit to find with the principals here, though. |

LUCKY PLACE (FR)
1174-3230
Dual Grade 2 hurdle winner last season. Didn't look a natural in 2 chase outings this term but got back on track reverted to this sphere last 2 starts. This is a tough ask, however. |

Analyst's Verdict
There wasn't much between BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD and The New Lion when second and third in the Champion Hurdle last month, where both shaped as if a return to this longer distance will suit. Marginal preference is for Brighterdaysahead, who was an impressive winner of a Grade 1 over C&D as a novice. El Fabiolo probably has a bigger performance in him over hurdles and isn't taken lightly having skipped Cheltenham.
Betting Forecast2/13 The New Lion, 9/43.25 Brighterdaysahead, 11/26.5 El Fabiolo, 10/111 Alexei, 16/117 Golden Ace, 18/119 Potters Charm, 40/141 Lucky Place
