Some top novices on show here, with preference for Dan Skelton's THIRD TIME LUCKI, who paid the price for making his move earlier than ideal in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago and looks to have been found a good opportunity for a first top-level success. The main danger could be Dusart, who is open to any amount of improvement after his debut victory, with Any News also respected.
