Rubaud made a successful reappearance in Listed company at Kempton a fortnight ago and the six-year-old will be looking to go back-to-back in the Elite Hurdle after taking victory in the race at Wincanton last year.

Dan Skelton's Forever William, who pulled up on his last outing at Plumpton, is a longshot in the betting.
