SCEAU ROYAL (2) could have the edge against this field with the benefit of race fitness. Returned after a seven month break with a fair 6L fourth in a Listed contest at Kempton Park. Top-class performer on his best day although getting older. GOSHEN (1) was well-beaten tackling the flat at Newmarket in October. A capable but quirky hurdler with a slight question mark given regular rider Jamie Moore is ruled out due to injury. THEATRE GLORY (5) makes seasonal reappearance. Third in G2 Bet365 Select Hurdle the end of previous campaign. BLUEKING D'OROUX (4) holds each way claims.
