A small field goes to post for this novices hurdle and the principals look to be Web Perceptions, Banningham Blaze and Tiralleur and the confident vote goes to Web Perceptions. The three year old was the best of these on the flat will like the ground and with the booking of Tony McCoy catching the eye he will be hard to beat. Banningham Blaze at least has hurdling experience and was a fair fourth on his debut behind Hilltime. He is sure to improve but he may do better over further. Tiralleur is a seller winner on the flat and is from a yard that can ready a newcomer over hurdles so is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with the likely favourite Web Perceptions.
