Verdict
Supreme Builder, Mirage Dore and Of Course make most appeal in this novices' hurdle and the vote goes to Supreme Builder. The selection won well here last time when getting the better of Bollin Ruth. He will relish these ground conditions and he looks a solid bet to go in again. Mirage Dore is another that arrives here in good form and he won well when beating My Arch last time, but that was his first win for some time and he is not one to have maximum faith in. Of Course ran a solid race in defeat last time when he chased home Companero. He was no match for the winner that day but it was an improved effort and if he can go on from that then he could get competitive. Autograph does have ability but he has had a few chances now and the percentage call is to take him on. All of which returns us to Supreme Builder who can win again.
