Not a strong novices hurdle, so a thick black line can be inked through the majority of the field. Swashbuckle must reside near the top of the shortlist on Flat form, but whilst he's done okay over hurdles so far, he's not appeared to be a ready made winner in waiting. Saint Freule has ability, but he's proving a nightmare for his trainer Lucinda Russell, whilst Satis House offered some promise early doors last season. A couple of these are worth keeping an eye on for handicaps, but today should be the day for THE STEWARD. He was a notable eye-catcher on hurdles debut at Catterick in November, and with similar conditions predicted should fare even better tonight.
- The Steward
- Swashbuckle
