KABRAL DU MATHAN looked very much at home stepping up to the top level before stamina let him down in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham and he should prove hard to beat back down in class/trip. Jingko Blue disappointed in the Liverpool Hurdle 2 weeks ago but he was impressive in the BetMGM Cup at the Festival prior to that and a reproduction of that form would make him the main threat.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Rubaud could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Jingko Blue might be well positioned in a slowly run affair.

Individual Price Hint: Rubaud traded at more than 10 times Betfair SP and 2 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts: Lucky Place has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
