If ever there was a race which best sums up the theme for the week, it is this Grade 1 Novice Hurdle, with Willie Mullins (6) and Gordon Elliott (5) responsible for all bar one of the 12 runners. We've seen a few of these horses already this week including the hardy Delta Work and the disappointing duo Blow By Blow and Getabird. Scarpeta is the pick of Paul Townend, and it's easy to see why on the strength of his fine Ballymore effort, but he had no excuses when readily beaten by the fast improving PALLASATOR at Fairyhouse over Easter. He has that touch of class from the Flat and stays well, so is taken with confidence to land the spoils under Davy Russell.
