Race Description
Novice races tend to be for younger horses that are still learning their way over hurdles or fences and allow them to race against each other before graduating up the ranks. Horses are classed as a novice if they have yet to win a race, under the respective code, prior to the official start of the season, towards the end of April although for wins between 1st March and the end of the season they may continue to contest novice races until the end of the following October. This particular two miles and half a furlong novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than two hurdle races.

PLAY SMARTER
This looks to revolve around PASO DOBLE, who got firmly back on track when finishing runner-up on handicap debut at Kempton last time. He looks very much the type to benefit from first-time headgear, so is fancied to go in again for a yard that has won a division of this race for the last 3 years. Hurdling debutants Jeremy The Jinn and Sword Beach could provide the main dangers.
