Another competitive field goes to post for this novice hurdle. Supreme Hill was a good second behind Far Horizon at Ascot on soft ground last time out and a reproduction of that form would make him hard to beat. Master Trix was third in the same race and there is no reason why Mark Pitman's charge should reverse the placings on exactly the same terms. Tana River won well at Exeter last time out when defeating Holland Park. However this is a much stronger race and he has to give weight to all his rivals. Jac An Ree showed a modicum of ability in bumpers, and this Supreme Leader gelding is sure to come into his own over a much longer trip. Darina's Boy has also shown a little ability but he to is bred to be much better over further.
