      Verdict

      LIFESTYLE looked an improved hurdler when scoring at Kempton last month. She could only manage fourth when making a quick reappearance at Newbury in a higher grade than this last time, but Nicky Henderson's charge looks the one to beat in this company. Dorabelle's best form of last year gives her a chance though she hasn't raced since July, while Alasi made the most of favourable terms to land a Listed hurdle at Wetherby in October and has won a chase since. Silver Gypsy is another reverting to hurdling after placed efforts over fences, but Cue To Cue makes more appeal on her earlier victory at Newcastle.
