In depth

Verdict

A large field goes to post for this novices hurdle and the principals look to be Lord Payne, Global Challenge, Mickey Croke and Hilltop Harry and the tentative vote goes to Lord Payne. The selection hails from the Martin Pipe yard and is highly regarded and he will not have to be anything special to win on his debut. Global Challenge rates the main danger he was a fair fifth behind Native Ivy in a similar race last time and if he can reproduce that effort he has definite place claims. Mickey Croke is another worthy of respect on his third behind Alexanderthegreat but he has failed to complete the course on his last two starts and is passed over on this occasion. Hilltop Harry was a fair third behind Chief Witness on his last run but that was 395 days ago and he may just need the run. Of the remainder Gracilis from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Lord Payne.
