SUPER SAM failed in his bid for hat-trick at Haydock last time but that was in Class 2 company. Venetia Williams’ charge has every chance back in this lower grade and can return to winning ways up against today’s modest opposition. Twist On Ginge was placed in a maiden hurdle in between a couple of poor efforts while Predict A Riot has been getting steadily closer in novice events and makes his handicap debut in this. Obistar and Young Lou have both placed at this level in the past but Beauboreen reverts to the smaller obstacles, though won a chase off today’s mark last year.
