DUSKY HERCULES for trainer David Pipe got off the mark at the fifth time of asking for connections landing an Exeter novices' handicap hurdle on soft ground over a similar trip last month and can add to that victory here off a 4lb lower mark. The Shantou gelding can see off the attentions of last time out winner Kestrel Valley and C&D winner Special Princess for trainer Rebecca Curtis. It would come as no surprise to witness improved efforts from the Evan Williams-trained No Rematch and Norwegian Woods for trainer Tim Vaughan.
