A poor field goes to post for this maiden hurdle and not many can be given a serious chance of winning but the principals look to be Mr Nemo Venn Otteryand Baron Alfours and we will take a chance on Mr Nemo. The gelding from Evan Williams yard had every chance until running out last time out and if he manages to get round he will be hard to beat. Venn Otter rates the main danger he was a good second behind Rgdale Hall last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Baron Alfours could also go well he to is in good form but he has had plenty of chances and still remains a maiden so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Just Ruben is from a yard in form and could go well at a big price but we are happy to side with Mr Nemo.
