Dan Skelton won this twelve months ago and could do so again with CATCH HIM DERRY (19) the pick of his runners after posting a solid third-place finish behind JERIKO DU REPONET (2) in a competitive handicap hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. The former stayed on from well off the pace that day and looks to hold major claims just 2lb higher while the latter-mentioned remains relatively unexposed in handicap hurdles of this nature and may get involved despite a 5lb higher mark. ACT OF AUTHORITY (4) encountered an unbeaten G1-bound runner at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Respect under 8lb conditional Lewis Saunders. TIMMY TUESDAY (12) and BILL JOYCE (10) are others to note.
