    Race Analysis

    BOSSMAN JACK (2) seeks improvement on a sixth in the G1 Baring Bingham Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham. Holds leading claims now switching to a flatter track. BALLYFAD (1) ran a fine race when second in the G1 Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown two starts back before a lesser Cheltenham effort. Capable of bouncing back and no surprise to see him thereabouts. SOLDIER REEVES (10) was not disgraced in the aforementioned Cheltenham Novice Hurdle after a strong Haydock G2 placing. Looks hard to leave out. SCORPIO RISING (9) arrives seeking a fifth hurdle success from seven attempts following another Sandown triumph. Can measure up again.
