Princelet, Flaming Weapon and Linnet look the three to concentrate on in this novices hurdle and the vote is given to Princelet. The selection won well last time out when beating Traprain. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement he is taken to defy his penalty under conditions that. Flaming Weapon rates the main danger on his latest second behind Blazing Bailey but he is more exposed than the selection and for that reason he is opposed.Linnet is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Detroit City. That form has since been franked and he should be closely monitored in the market. Of the remainder Rawaabet was a fair third on his debut and is another that is sure to improve but for the winner we return to Princelet who sets a fair standard.
