Hereford 1.00

A competitive Novices Handicap Hurdle and a few may be lurking that have yet to show their hand and the most likely may be Ballygowan Bay, who may need the  run and who is not proven at the trip and The Go Tou Man who is fit but I'm always wary of Southwell NH form as it is such a tight little circuit and not proper fences (portable ones). The one who really catches the eye is NEACHELLS BRIDGE ran in a 3 mile Point 2 Point so stamina looks assured, not sure what the point of then going down the NHFlat route was as a former P2P runner, but ran well at Bangor and Doncaster to make me think, this is optimum trip, ideal conditions and a potentially nice mark. The horse is also race fit and looks a very sold each way chance.
