RED DYNAMITE seems to have been found a good opportunity to follow up on his win last time but Merry Terry could be going close if building on some point to point form and Gabreselassie is another worth of a mention in this Novice Handicap Hurdle Generally consistent the pick put in a much improved effort to comfortably get the better of Nile Moon at Warwick over slightly further last time out and with just 5lbs extra to carry a similar run should be enough with the form looking rock solid from that last run. Merry Terry is still unexposed but wasn't exactly pulling up any trees when last seen under rules. Since then he's found some form between the flags so if building on that he should go close. Gabreselassie run behind a runaway pair on his last run now looks strong but he will need to improve for an introduction to quick ground to be winning this. Grasscutter now looks better treated and could feature as could Fongoli who has found some consistency in his last couple of runs. This looks a pretty decent chance for Red Dynamite to win again.
