All eyes will be on APPRECIATE IT, who was the leading novice hurdler in Britain and Ireland a couple of seasons ago and suffered his first defeat over timber back from a year off in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. He looks every inch a chasing type and, barring accidents, he will surely make a winning start in this sphere before going on to bigger and better things. Get My Drift and Top Bandit can fill the places.
