Cave Top is the top-rated of this field, but looks vulnerable under cumulative penalties for his early season gains, so this looks an ideal opportunity for the Nicky Henderson trained DUKE DEBARRY to shed the maiden tag at the eighth attempt. His previous hurdles form over this type of trip is most respectable, and we should take note of the rare presence of Henderson and at De Boinville at this track (0 from 1 since 1998, and 2 from 7 since 2008 respectively).
