THE HATCHET was quick to make his mark in this sphere at Perth and with that form having been very well advertised since he is fancied to make light of a 7 lb penalty. Both Cavalier Du Luy (second choice) and Kent de Thaix have winning Irish point form to their name and command plenty of respect starting out over hurdles, while Unjeu Royal and Magna Victor can't be discounted either.
