Nicky Henderson has a very exciting contender coming into the race in Epatante and he has two really solid outings so far this season - the most notable being his emphatic victory in the Grade 1 Ladbroke Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day.
One of the most interesting parts of the race this time around is the high quality betting market for this one with Epatante being the shortest priced selection trading around a 10/3 listing which makes this a really solid betting race for punters who have done their homework.
Honeysuckle should be able to give him a serious run for his money and he comes into the race with a really nice reference contest in his last outing. He boasts a victory in the Irish Champion Hurdle from February 1st and he was able to beat some talented contenders from that one.
Henry De Bromhead’s charge is priced anywhere from a 4/1 price tag all the way up to an 8/1 listing.
