        Verdict

        Real Cracker, Our House and Good Lord Louis look the ones to concentrate on in this novices hurdle and we will side with the last named. The gelding from the Phillip Hobbs yard was a good fifth behind Marrakech in a much better race last time out. This looks easier and with conditions in his favour he is taken to score. Real Cracker rates the main danger. He was an impressive winner of a fair bumper and is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut it would be no surprise to see him go close with the excellent Sam Thomas taking off a handy five pounds. Our House is a well bred sort from a top yard and is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Ejays Boy has shown enough in two runs to date to suggest he can win a race of this nature but this looks very competitive and we are happy to stick with Good Lord Louis.
