MANSION looks the most likely winner of this opening event. The selection needs to put a poor run last time out behind him but a repeat of his hurdling debut appears to be the best form on offer here and he can take this at the expense of Billy Hicks who showed signs of ability in a point-to-point a couple of years ago and Miss Williams who is another to show ability in the past. 1. Mansion 2. Billy Hicks 3. Miss Williams
