A typically competitive Albert Bartlett. Philip Hobbs has kept his powder dry with the unbeaten (hurdles) Challow winner Thyme Hill. The manner of his victories imply that he shouldn't be found wanting for stamina on his first attempt over 3m. Colin Tizzard is doubly-represented, with the progressive Harry Senior undoubtedly his main hope, while there's less to choose between at least two of the Willie Mullins trio (Monkfish and the intriguing Janidil). However, we cast the vote towards Paul Nolan's Leopardstown scorer LATEST EXHIBITION (holds Cobbler's Way and Fury Road). His overall form portfolio is stacked full to the brim of pure quality.
