There were excuses for CHRISTOPHER ROBIN on his last start due to a lost shoe during the race and the four-year-old wouldn't have to improve much on previous starts to land the spoils in the opener for Cheltenham festival winning yard. 30,000gns purchase at Newmarket sales in November last year, The Last Emperor can emerge as the biggest danger here on hurdling debut, while Westerner gelding, Western Rambler is another worthy of consideration on first start.
