Formscan By Tom Weekes - Champion Hurdle hero STATE MAN is a nine-time Grade 1 winner who is unbeaten in four course runs and won last year's renewal of this race. His only defeat in his last 12 starts has been to Constitution Hill at Cheltenham in 2023 and while just 1.25 lengths separated him and Irish Point in March, the selection is currently at his peak and is ground-versatile. Dual top-level winner Irish Point should again give him a race but needs to find improvement to turn form. Sir Gerhard drops in distance having run well in a recent Sandown Grade 2 but has winning form at this distance and can fill third place.
