Race preview
An exciting novices' hurdle to kick things off, a race in which many hold claims. Abuffalosoldier made the perfect start to his hurdling career when scoring at Wincanton and the runner-up from that race has boosted the form by winning easily since, while Rafferty's Return only found a Dan Skelton hot-pot too good here recently and will likely show up well again. However, that man, Skelton, saddles another interesting runner in the class-dropping VIVA LAVILLA today and he rates the one to beat.
