Verdict

A small but competitive field goes to post for this novices hurdle and the principals look to be Darnley, It's Harry and Lik Wood Power and the confident vote goes to Darnley. The six year old won well last time out when defeating CockO'Hawick and despite his penalty he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. It's Harry rates the main danger he was a fair fourth behind Air Of Confusion last time and he will not be far away as he is receiving weight from the selection. Lik Wood Power is also worthy of respect he was a fair third on his debut behind Beat The Heat and is another that is sure to improve. Of the remainder Don Valentino is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Darnley.
