The absence of Vroom Vroom Mag opens this up for YARNWORTH to advertise his Champion Hurdle credentials. The drop in distance is a question mark but his class and turn of foot are expected to prove decisive. The New One always runs well here but his front-running style and previous record at this level suggests he may be vulnerable to an up and coming rival. It is difficult to argue with what My Tent Or Yours has achieved in the past. Nevertheless he has been found wanting in recent battles and he looks set to play a supporting role here with Barry Geraghty preferring the selection.
