MISS ALTEA BLUE (5) represents the winning jockey and trainer of this race last year. The filly is a previous course and distance winner having won here attempting a mares novices hurdle in March while concluded last season with a sixth in a 2m1f premier handicap hurdle at Cheltenham the following month. Top chance. Stablemate FASOL (1) produced a decent 7L fifth tackling a higher graded 2m handicap hurdle a week ago at Ascot. Holds ability to go close. Main danger. FIGHT MY FIRE (2) improved securing a 4. 5L victory in a 2m2f maiden hurdle at Fontwell. Holds claims. MARHABA THE CHAMP (4) recorded a 14L runner-up effort tackling a 2m1f maiden hurdle at Newcastle last week. Next best.
