      Verdict

      A competitive field goes to post for this novices hurdle and the main protagonists look to be Hollows Mill, Peter's Imp and Fly Kicker and we will take a chance on Peter's Imp. The eight year old won well at Cartmel last time out when defeating Quizzical and he is taken to score again with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Hollows Mill rates the main danger on his best placed form but although he travels well in his races he finds very little off the bridle so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Fly Kicker would also be worthy of consideration on his best form but he remains a maiden after 21 starts. Of the remainder Pikestaff is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with the bang in form Peter's Imp.
