KABRAL DU MATHAN (1) brings impressive form with three wins and three runner-up efforts past six attempts including a 5.5L victory in the G2 Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham. Leading contender. FRENCH SHIP (4) failed to land a hat-trick last time when seventh in the Lanzarote Hurdle at Kempton Park. Picked up wins at Cheltenham and Newbury prior. Holds winning form at this venue and may bounce back. BEAUPORT (3) failed to finish in the G1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot during December. Improvement expected. HENRI THE SECOND (2) cannot be discounted after a 9L success in the Heroes Premier Handicap Hurdle at Sandown Park.
