SAM HARDY

1. Roksana 2. Concertista 3. Verdana Blue

The Dan Skelton-trained Roksana bids to repeat her 2019 success in this race and has been given an easier task this season with last year’s winner Honeysuckle likely to be aimed at the Champion Hurdle and 2018 heroine Benie Des Dieux ruled out of this year’s festival. Ante-post favourite Concertista could prove the main danger to the selection having won her last two races in convincing fashion.
