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, three and a half furlongs novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than two hurdle races.

PLAY SMARTER

BOLD ENDEAVOUR is tackling more testing ground than previously, but he’s looked a useful prospect so far and, with better still to come, he’s taken to defy a penalty. Raffle Ticket sets the standard, though Escapeandevade is certainly no back number after readily making all on his recent Rules debut at Ayr.
