A hot novice hurdle with some top yards represented. Captain Peacock has been impressive on his last two starts and he is marginally preferred to Serosevsky who might not be able to match him for speed. Both face a stiff task in trying to concede 7lb to TRUCKERS LODGE who improved on a sound surface when last seen and a line through the runner-up gives him an edge over Oliver Sherwood's charge.
