Formscan - Rubaud won this last year and is likely to go well once again having scored with plenty in hand at Kempton last month. That said, he may struggle to give 6lb to ASPIRE TOWER, who has not had many starts since finishing fourth in the 2021 Champion Hurdle. The eight-year-old relished the return hurdling when winning readily at Punchestown last month and he may improve for that outing. Brentford Hope progressed well last season in handicaps but this will require another step forward.
