Verdict

The best of the early-season British novices clash in what should be a most-informative Challow Hurdle. Marginal preference is for THE NEW LION, who looked all quality when winning a C&D novice a month ago. Bill Joyce will get further in time but he remains of serious interest over any trip given his ability, with the highly-regarded Regent's Stroll a serious player, too.

  1. THE NEW LION
  2. BILL JOYCE (IRE)
  3. REGENT'S STROLL (IRE)
