Forecasts

Barton Knoll (5/2), Hello Bertie (5/2), Alfiboy (4/1), Royal Escape (5/1), General Consensus (5/1), Atlantic Grey (12/1), Judge Earle (14/1), Choix De L'amour (50/1), Forth Cave (100/1), Brandy Burn (100/1)

This is unlikely to be the strongest novices' hurdle at the track this season and can go to HELLO BERTIE, who looks to have enough about him to get his nose in front. Alfiboy does not look to have been the easiest to keep sound, but any money for him would be interesting, while Atlantic Grey represents a top yard and could make a good debut. General Consensus may emerge as a big danger to the selection, while Judge Earle is another eyecatching newcomer to this discipline and support for him would probably also be significant.
