The six-year-old is trained by Nicky Henderson, who is no stranger to success in the race, having saddled the winner on eight previous occasions.Ironically, the Mares Hurdle (16:10) sees two former winners of that hurdling blue riband taking their chances.
Honeysuckle, who won this race in 2020 before taking the last two renewals of the Champion Hurdle is up against Epatante. The pair will have to wrest the crown from reigning champion, Marie’s Rock.Scottish hopes on the opening day will rely upon Lucinda Russell’s Corach Rambler in the Ultima Handicap Chase (14:50).
