Giuliani, Station Island and Smithlyn look the three to concentrate on in this novices hurdle and the confident vote goes to Giuliani. The selection won well last time out when defeating Jake The Jumper and although he has a penalty for that win he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour.Station Island rates the main danger he was sixth in a fair handicap behind My Line last time and he will find this easier but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Smithlyn is another that could go well but he was slightly disappointing behind Bobby Dazzler last time and the first time blinkers will need to improve him if he is to score. Of the remainder Serpentine Rock is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Giuliani.
