ERITAGE was the winner of his penultimate start and he can record a second victory over hurdles by taking this decent looking novice event. The selection can get the better of his rivals here with Brinkley who is making his debut for his current yard capable of taking second on his second start over hurdles while third place can go to It Sure Is who is making his first appearance since wind surgery.
