We are starting to see some nice types reappear now and KINTAIL may well prove to be an exciting prospect for Nicky Henderson. He caught the eye on debut in a bumper at Wincanton and then improved to win readily at this track back in May. He looked far from the finished article so given time and now sent hurdling he could be one to keep on side. He will like going up in trip and must have a big chance. God's Own Getaway looks the danger.

I rarely ever back a horse on debut but such is the reputation of AN TOBAR he should prove hard to beat. He was impressive winning his sole point last year and his trainer Henry de Bromhead has marked him down as one to follow now going under Rules. This looks a good starting point and he could be a horse to take high rank in the novice division this season. St Cuthbert's Cave looked good winning a bumper earlier in the year and looks the danger.
