Brendon Soper Memorial Novices' Hurdle

ERITAGE is the percentage call even though he was a disappointing favourite last time out. The gelding is, however, a previous course winner and was second to a horse with stacks of potential in a similar race at Exeter when last seen. He's likely to learn plenty now that he's upped in trip but the penalty has to be a slight concern. Buckhorn George also showed inherent ability in his first start over hurdles but never really got competitive before being pulled up a Exeter in December. He's been given time off and the fact may be that he just needed more time between races. How's The Cricket and Innerpickle are respected but have improvement to find.
