Penhill looks the one to beat after his win in the Stayers Hurdle and the way he finished the race off suggested he had more in the tank if it was required. But he was a little below form her eafter winning at Cheltenham last year, and if that's the case again today, it might leave the door open for one or two others. IDENTITY THIEF really looked to have turned a corner at Aintree, the step up in trip showing him in a new light, and that form is as good - arguably, better - than Penhill's Cheltenham win. If he's over those exertions, he could follow up here. La Bague Au Roi holds place chances for a yard that won this two years ago.
