Paul Nicholls has won this with some useful performers last few years however none might be as talented as this seasons contender NO DRAMA THIS END (1). The striking son of Walk In The Park posted an almost faultless performance when making a successful winning hurdling debut in the G2 Hyde Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham and can remain unbeaten over hurdles here. The chief threat could come from the Dan Skelton trained TORMUND GIANTSBANE (5) who managed to keep on well to score first time out with hurdles from a fair yardstick at Carlisle. THE BLUE ROOM (3) created a nice impression gaining a hurdle win at Chepstow last month and will handle stepping up in trip. TOP JIMMY (4) looks best of the rest.
