Not the strongest of novice hurdles with little strength in depth. Moon Spinner has been costly to follow and needs a Government health warning attached to her. This looks to rest between hurdling debutante Special Present and winning bumper horse Sammy Samba, who has given the appearance he fails to stay over further. Preference is for Special Present, who is unlucky not to have won his bumper having been beaten a short head twice. He looks a useful horse to have running this time of year and with the assistance of the champion, he can get off to a winning start over timber.
