COLONEL MUSTARD (1) sets the standard based on last seasons form. Closed off previous preparation with a third in the G1 Punchestown Champion Hurdle. Exciting prospect for fences. FOUND A FIFTY (2) makes seasonal reappearance. Some useful form last campaign where good enough to be tried among G1 company. Contender. LUCKY MAX (3) holds each way claims. Struggled in the Galway Hurdle during the summer. Better expected. LA MALMASON (8) brings the advantage of race fitness. Place chance despite being well-beaten past two starts.
