The two previous winners can dominate this novice hurdle with preference for ESPRIT DU LARGE who performed well when fourth in a Grade 2 contest last time out. He looks capable of seeing off Newtown Boy who has had wind surgery since suffering an odds-on defeat last time out. Of the remainder The Bunnyman was running well prior to falling late on when debuting over hurdles last time and he can finish third.
