Race Analysis
HIDDENVALLEY LAKE (1) won this two years ago before improving to take out the G1 Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree during the spring. Disappointed at Punchestown. Keeping fresh for a spring campaign this year and likely to improve for the outing but still very talented. IRANCY (2) produced a fine novice campaign rounding off with a win at Punchestown. Struggled this season and hopes hang on the step up in trip leading to more improvement. BETTER DAYS AHEAD (5) enjoyed novice chases last year concluding with a sixth place finish in the Irish National. One to consider. STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT (6) is the choice of Jack Kennedy and needs respect.
