A big moment for National Hunt lovers with the opening juvenile hurdle of the season. The contest has attracted two Irish raiders in the shape of Good Shot Sir and Blue Petal and the market should prove highly instructive as to their respective chances. However, LORD CAPRIO (NAP) is by far the best of the sextet on Flat form having rattled up an impressive three wins at Newcastle during the winter campaign. He should prove hard to beat if transferring that level of ability to his new discipline. The remainder have shown little on the Flat with Jaycols Star looking best of the trio after finishing in mid-division at Redcar earlier this week.
