Barry Rawlings 'What A Year' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle

Led until approaching 3rd, chased leader, left in lead before 2 out, ridden and joined between last 2, good jump last, stayed on gamely run-in and always doing enough op 13/2

Tracked leading pair, mistake 2nd, left in close 2nd before 2 out, ridden and every chance from between last 2, almost upsides when not fluent last, stayed on but always just held op 6/1

Held up in 6th, hit 4th, headway on inside when hit 3 out, left in 4th place before 2 out, plugged on into modest 3rd run-in

Not always fluent, tracked leading trio, bumped by loose horse 2nd, jumped slowly 4th, pushed along and left 3rd before 2 out, ridden and one pace between last 2, no chance with 1st 2, lost modest 3rd run-in tchd 15/8

Keen in mid-division, dropped to last pair 2nd, headway when left in 5th place before 2 out, driven raced awkwardly and hung right between last 2, kept on run-in pressing for modest 4th op 25/1

Held up in 5th, jumped slowly 3rd, pushed along and struggling in 6th after 3 out, never on terms

Always in rear, tailed off 3 out
