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 mile steeple chase is for horses aged five-years-old and upwards.

PLAY SMARTER

An intriguing contest, despite the small field. CALL OF THE WILD was an early casualty on his recent introduction to this sphere at Doncaster but he looks a chasing type and, judged on his hurdles form, will have every chance of delivering here, granted a clear round. Cap du Mathan should pick up a race over fences sooner rather than later and merits respect but Robin’s Dream, who was a promising novice hurdler a couple of seasons back, could be a bigger threat if fully tuned-up for this.
