Daddy Long Legs brings the strongest form credentials to this field, with a solid record at the top level and a return to hurdles on a surface that suits; his connections have been successful in this contest four times in the past decade and first-time cheekpieces add further interest. Jesse Evans, who landed a chase by nine lengths last time, is a genuine rival though a bigger target later in the summer may be the primary focus, while Bowensonfire is a progressive type back in handicap company with a real chance of making the frame. Daddy Long Legs is our selection.
