Verdict

Cases can be made for most, but preference is for RECOUP, who pulled well clear with a subsequent winner on his yard/hurdling debut at Ludlow back in October and Fergal O'Brien's 5-y-o should have plenty more to offer in this sphere. Titanium Moon wasn't hard pressed to make it 4 novice wins in a row when last seen at Stratford 6 months ago, so she's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Hypotenus, who is clearly talented but needs to learn to jump better.

  1. RECOUP
  2. TITANIUM MOON
  3. HYPOTENUS
