HONESTY POLICY (6) brings strong staying form and was placed in the G1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot two starts ago before a respectable fifth in the G1 Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham beaten 6L. Looks poised to return to winning form on a flatter track. STRONG LEADER (9) resumes after three months and has already shown he can fire fresh with a Wetherby success over 3m to open the previous campaign. Serious threat. JINGKO BLUE (8) made a winning comeback tackling 2m5f at Cheltenham under James Bowen and his second up profile suggests there is more to come. HIDDENVALLEY LAKE (4) has not been at his best in recent outings but his G1 credentials keep him firmly in contention.
