National Hunt racing makes a welcome return to Gosforth Park, with the track itself likely to be thriving for it's seven month break. However, conditions are likely to be riding on the faster side of good, and that has resulted in a rather modest turnout (potential wise) for the opening novices hurdle. HELLO FELLAS has arguably been slightly disappointing since a pleasing bumper debut at Ayr, but his second effort over hurdles at Carlisle last month reads well in the context of this race, with the fourth placed horse Cesar Collonges a gritty winner in Cumbria on Monday. Sedgefield runner up Inniscastle Lad would appear the safest forecast option, with his trainer Donald McCain no doubt grateful that he doesn't meet anything half as progressive as Ravenshill Road this time around.
