No Drama This End will be very tough to beat if rediscovering the form shown when comfortably winning the Grade 1 Challow Novices' Hurdle at Newbury in December. He was inconvenienced by the start and traffic problems when pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival but that was still a disconcerting performance and there is a temptation to look elsewhere, especially given today's forecast odds and the race having a nice each-way shape. Preference is for SOGNA IN GRANDE, who did it easily when making it 2-2 over hurdles at Wincanton three weeks ago and could have lots more left in the tank. Tormund Giantsbane impressed at Doncaster in February on his first crack at 3m and is second choice, although cases can be made for the others, too.[Ben Hutton]
