An interesting novices' hurdle in which the penalised Southwell maiden winner
First Lord De Cuet is fitted with a tongue-tie. Meanwhile, both the Sue Smith-trained
Frimeur De Lancray and the Nigel Twiston-Davies trained
The Newest One appeal as the type to win races over hurdles in the future. However, Nick Alexander's
EBONY JEWEL sets the form standard. He thrashed Milvale (second at Kelso on Sunday) in an Ayr bumper in March, and is steadily learning his trade over hurdles. This is a slightly easier option than the Class 2 C&D contest in which he finished third to Marie's Rock earlier in the month.
