Verdict

BECTIVE ABBEY was far from disgraced on his reappearance in an 18-runner handicap hurdle at Cheltenham and, likely to be sharper now, he is taken to go one better than on his debut in this sphere at Southwell during the summer. If Alan de Banks takes to fences at the first attempt he will be a big threat having showed plenty over hurdles last term. Ivaldi and Willmount are both talented and will also be dangerous if things click for them here.
