This is an interesting Novice Hurdle on Going that should be genuinely Good To Soft unless some

unexpected and not forecast rain arrives. Slanehough from the Dobbin yard is likely to run a very big race and if you

want a saver on it, have it, but the one I really like is COPPER WEST. It has winning 3 mile Point 2 Point form and

just tired at the business end last time at Ludlow, the slight drop in trip here will help and the P2P win was on Good 

to Yielding ground so conditions should be ideal. If you want a side bet with one of the enhanced place bookies the 

16/1 about Princess Tara is very appealing on some old Hurdles form and I can't let it pass without a MASSIVE mention!
