Race preview

CANNOCK PARK had a fine novice hurdle campaign last season, twice placed at Graded level, and Paul Robson's gelding is an exciting addition to the chasing ranks. He is fancied to take to this discipline and, having gone well fresh in the past, a bold bid beckons. There are plenty in the way of dangers, however, with Choose A Copper and Bertie's Ballet topping the list. The former won a novice hurdle at this venue on his seasonal debut last year and he is likely to improve for a fence, while Conor O'Farrell's mount also performed to a decent level over the smaller obstacles last term.
