Formscan - The Greatwood Hurdle winner, IBERICO LORD, has been highly progressive since he joined the Nicky Henderson yard and is difficult to oppose, despite going up 8lb for last month's Cheltenham success. Luccia (third), Nemean Lion (fifth) and Onlyamatteroftime (ran out) all renew rivalries from that race and can make this a good test on the revised terms. However, the selection's stablemate Impose Toi has answered every question asked of him lately and may well emerge as the biggest threat to his travel companion. Altobelli and Hansard deepen the level of competition.
