Verdict

Le Royal, Silver Samuel and Predestine look the ones to concentrate on in this novices hurdle and we will side with Le Royal. The gelding from the Mary Reveley yard won well over course and distance when defeating Hot Produxion and although he has a penalty for that win he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Silver Samuel rates the main danger he also won over course and distance last time when defeating Five Pence. However he does not have the scope of the selection so for that reason is opposed. Predestine is also worthy of respect he won a novices hurdle in good style when defeating Murat Last time but this is much more competitive and he will need to improve significantly to score. Of the remainder Jack Martin is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Le Royal.
