1. Grand Roi 2. Buzz 3. Thomas Darby

Grade 2 winner Grand Roi looks the right favourite for this handicap hurdle. He is a three-time scorer from five starts over hurdles, ran well at the weights at Naas in January and is a likely improver over further and on better ground. Nicky Henderson has landed the last two runnings and Buzz is a credible contender. He has been in fine form in leading 2m handicap hurdles this campaign and would be right in the mix if finding any improvement over 2m5f.
