Verdict

The pick of these promising novices could be STELLAR STORY, who did the job well in a big-field C&D maiden on his hurdles debut three weeks ago and he's open to plenty of improvement. Slade Steel represents last year's winning yard and, armed with a similar profile to the selection, he is second choice ahead of Lecky Watson and Better Days Ahead.
