Verdict

MY TENT OR YOURS should gain some compensation for his narrow defeat in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle by landing this Grade 2. Nicky Henderson's six-year-old couldn't quite peg back Champagne Fever at Cheltenham but this flatter course looks to be in his favour and he's rated at least 14lb superior to today's four rivals. Stablemate Forgotten Voice beat Brick Red in a Grade 2 at Kempton last time, though was receiving 3lb and it should be a little closer today. Art Of Logistics won at Fairyhouse on his latest start but had his limitations exposed at Naas earlier while this is a huge leap in class for Ayr winner Zuider Zee, though he was a decent stayer on the Flat and is unexposed over timber.
