'He's got the right profile and looks a lovely horse for the race'
Hughie Morrison, trainer of Not So Sleepy
We're a bit on the fence as we're not a definite runner or non-runner at the moment. We're thinking about it day by day as we'd love to go to Cheltenham for a shot at the Champion Hurdle, and we're conscious that a run before that could mean it doesn't happen. It would be apt to say we're sleeping on it but we're very happy with the horse. There's the attraction of the £100,000 bonus, so we're certainly looking closely at the race. He's gone up 17lb for his last win but he's probably still got a stone to find with the best in the Champion Hurdle.
Joe Tizzard, assistant to Colin Tizzard, trainer of Eldorado Allen and Elixir De Nutz
The handicapper put Eldorado Allen up 9lb for finishing second at Sandown, which is harsh enough. That was coming back off a long time off, so I'd think he'll improve for the run. He's got the right profile and looks a lovely horse for this race. We've just tweaked Elixir De Nutz's wind, it's not quite been going right for him this season. This might be a bit of a fact-finding mission but the wind will help. Eldorado Allen would be our main one at the moment.
Nicky Henderson, trainer of Countister, Fred, Fusil Raffles, Mill Green, Never Adapt and Pentland Hills
I'm really not sure who's going there. Never Adapt could go, I haven't discussed it with her owner yet but it's an option. She'd be the most likely, but at the moment it's just pure guesswork.
