Verdict

CRYSTAL ISLAND looked potentially smart when winning both starts over hurdles last season and Nicky Henderson's expensive point recruit can maintain his unbeaten record now chasing. Spectacularsunrise would've likely scored over C&D 3 weeks ago if not for a late fall so has to be respected, with Four Springs and The Gray Ghost completing the shortlist in a hot race.
