Verdict

A fair sized field but as with many novice hurdles only a few have a chance of winning a race of this nature. With Nicky Henderson often running some of his best novice hurdlers here it’s hard to get away from the claims of the unbeaten CHANTRY HOUSE. He looked potentially smart when last seen at Cheltenham and is taken to defy his penalty. Namib Dancer has shown that he’s capable of winning a race such as this and looks the main danger. Tremwedge exceeded expectations last time at Fairyhouse and he’ll need to show that he can repeat that run for his new connections. L’Air Du Vent and Java Point are two others that should be considered.
  1. Chantry House
  2. Namib Dancer
  3. L'Air Du Vent
