Verdict

APPRECIATE IT looked one out of the very top drawer when winning the Future Champions Novices' Hurdle over C&D at Christmas, so he can't be opposed with the prospect of more to come. His biggest danger could be his stablemate Blue Lord, who looks interesting back at 2m having been too keen over 2½m at Naas. Irascible and Master McShee are next on the list.

  1. APPRECIATE IT (IRE)
  2. BLUE LORD (FR)
