Verdict

TEAHUPOO has done nothing but improve over hurdles to date and he showed a good attitude to overhaul Quilixios at Limerick last time, so he's fancied to confirm placings with that rival and gain further success before a tilt at the Champion Hurdle. A back-to-form Saldier could make things difficult for the selection.
