An extremely competitive renewal of this contest, with the handicap newcomer Ashington ticking a lot of boxes after he won with authoritative ease over C&D most recently. As much as he has going for him, the strength of his novice hurdle form doesn't look the strongest. Therefore, preference is for NEWTOWN BOY who denied the strong challenge of the well-fancied Informateur when bouncing back to form last time. A 4lb rise for that looks fair enough, and he is still lightly raced after just the six hurdle starts. Snookered should also have a part to play as he goes in search of a fifth straight win after looking as though he had more to offer when winning at Wetherby.
