Race preview
Arclight is a 1m Flat winner and is sure to have plenty of supporters on her hurdling/stable debut for Nicky Henderson, but a chance is taken on PRETENDING. She has won and finished runner-up from just four starts on the level and looks the type that could make up into a smart hurdler. Eclairant Le Monde and Chicago Gal are already proven in this sphere and warrant respect, while Ardbraccan and Lady Valentine also merit some consideration.
