LEAVE OF ABSENCE makes his hurdling debut on the back of an excellent campaign in bumpers last season. Winning at Newbury and Kempton, before a third-place finish in an Aintree Grade 2, LEAVE OF ABSENCE was the best of these runners in bumpers, and is expected to transition to hurdles with ease under Chris Gordon who is winning at a rate of 36% over the last 14 days.

SPORTING JOHN is the one to beat on these terms. As a Grade 1 novice chase winner, SPORTING JOHN returned to hurdles last season where he went 2 wins from 3. The selection never really cemented himself in the grade 1 sphere, but with an air of 'unfinished business' SPORTING JOHN has the ability to outclass this field over hurdles.

PEACHY CARNEHAN comes into this race with plenty in his favour. A 3-time Course and Distance winner PEACHY CARNEHAN can follow up on his impressive 2nd of 15 last time out at Yarmouth 11 days ago, and really put this field to the test. And with QUINNBET offering moneyback as a free bet if your horse finishing second to the SP favourite, PEACHY CARNEHAM offers great win value in a race where the selection has delivered the most consistent performances vs the field.
