Formscan  - Crystal Island impressively won a point-to-point in Ireland and now debuts under Rules for the powerful Nicky Henderson yard, so must be taken seriously. Big Ticket and Off The Jury aren't out of this either but the verdict is for GAELIC PRIDE, who has finished runner-up in maiden hurdles at Fontwell and Cheltenham. That latest piece of form at the November fixture reads well and he's the one to beat.
