The favourite is SHISHKIN, a wide margin winner of the Sidney Banks Hurdle at Huntingdon who bids to give Nicky Henderson a fourth Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. He could face Willie Mullins’ charge ASTERION FORLONGE, a wide margin winner at the Dublin Racing Festival. Key Irish challenger ABRACADABRAS, fourth in the Champion Bumper last year, has found only Envoi Allen too good over hurdles whilst FIDDLERONTHEROOF was an impressive winner of the Tolworth Hurdle.
