Formscan - As events are unfolding, the unbeaten SIR GINO has the potential to rule the roost in the two-mile hurdle division for quite some time and he is very difficult to see beyond. The Nicky Henderson-trained star returned from a well-documented training setback with an exemplary display in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton. His cruising speed and jumping efficiency will mean only outstanding performances from The New Lion and Nemean Lion will suffice if he is to be toppled here. Brentford Hope is rated 25lb inferior to Sir Gino and would be a surprise winner.
