With the absence of Lossiemouth at the final entry stage this could prove straightforward for CONSTITUTION HILL (1). The Nicky Henderson trained star hurdler returned from a year off with a commanding success in the G1 Christmas Hurdle at Kempton. May take this en-route to regaining his G1 Champion Hurdle crown. BRENTFORD HOPE (3) can follow the main selection home on form of his runner-up effort in the G2 Elite Hurdle during November. FILS D'OUDAIRIES (2) and JOYEUX MACHIN (4) might fight it out for third place.
