Verdict

Quite a competitive novices’ hurdle with plenty of point-to-point form on display and Highland Hunter has to give away weight to the entire field as he’s penalised for his Ayr win where he had Manetti back in 3rd. Diger Daudaie comes from a Chepstow race that is starting to work out well and looks quite strong form while Bubbles Of Gold will appreciate this step up in trip. COURT MASTER has had a recent wind op and he’s shaped like a real stayer in both his Rules starts so far and this 2m6f trip looks made for him to give the likely market leader a good race.
