Verdict

A pre-Christmas cracker with all six arriving on the back of a recent win, but it's hard to escape the impression THE NEW LION left when scooting clear at Chepstow on hurdling debut last month, so he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record for the red-hot Skelton outfit. Califet en Vol clearly learnt from his bumper effort back in the spring when bolting up on return/hurdling debut at Kempton recently, so he looks the obvious danger, with French Ship taken to fill out third.

  1. THE NEW LION
  2. CALIFET EN VOL (IRE)
