Verdict

POLITACTUS showed plenty in bumpers last season, culminating with an excellent fourth in a Grade 2 at Aintree's Grand National Meeting, so she's the choice to make a successful hurdling debut. Alfie's Princess is another good hurdle prospect judged on the promise of her bumper debut, while winning Irish pointer Florencethemachine also warrants respect having joined a top stable that has a good record in this race.

  1. POLITACUS (IRE)
  2. ALFIE'S PRINCESS (IRE)
