EBF 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle

A race that looks to revolve around the four who come into it with penalties to carry courtesy of previous hurdling success and the vote goes to WATERLORD, who can live up to his name after all the recent precipitation at the track and confirm the good impression that he left us with when scoring at Bangor last time. Mahlervous has to prove himself in this much deeper ground than at Southwell, while Ravensdale showed that he goes in a quagmire when winning here over further and although he has won a point-to-point, his run that day suggested that he may have the speed for 2m on testing ground. Treshnish also has it to prove on heavy ground, but he is not ruled out from taking another step forward.

1. Waterlord
2. Ravensdale
3. Treshnish
