      Verdict

      Hatton House, Kahysera and Silver Bow are three against the field in this novices hurdle and the vote is given to Hatton House. The selection was a fair fifth behind Seafield Bogie last time out. That horse has since franked the form and with this stiffer track in his favour he looks the one to be on. Kahysera rates the main danger on his latest third behind American President. He is sure to improve and should be noted in the market with his yard in form. Silver Bow would have chances on his best form but disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Pass The Class hails from the same yard as Kahysera and is another to note in the market but in a trappy affair for the winner we are happy to return to Hatton House.
