DOCTOR STEINBERG can stretch his unbeaten hurdle record to 3 and provide Willie Mullins with a fifth win in the last 6 runnings of this Grade 1. December's Limerick Grade 2 scorer Kazansky is the mount of Jack Kennedy from the four-strong Gordon Elliott team and may provide the main threat ahead of the selection's stablemate Love Me Tender.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: A strongly contested lead could count against Doctor Steinberg, who is expected to try and race close up: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Kazansky is one who may benefit from being produced later.
Individual Price Hint: Doctor Steinberg has traded at more than 2 times Betfair SP twice when winning during its last 5 starts.
