Verdict

PATS CHOICE sets the standard after a good second on hurdling debut at Leopardstown and there's more to come, so he's a straightforward choice ahead of Midnight It Is, who should benefit from this return to hurdling after a disappointing spell over fences. Most of the others have something to prove.
