Newcomers may fight out the finish here in this tricky novice hurdle where previous experience is negligible. Proprioception can test the commentator by playing a part in the finish, Nicky Henderson introduces Reaching Out, and Jabo has the benefit of a previous run. The powerful Henderson yard is taken to come out on top with Reaching Out. Alan King¿s runners are always worthy of respect and he runs the tongue twister Proprioception, a maiden on the Flat, but this daughter of Danehill Dancer has only raced five times. She is likely to have been well schooled, and rated 55 on the level, is capable of playing a part here. Jabo finished in mid-division in a bumper at Exeter but is likely to have learned from that and is from another top yard. Reaching Out won on the Flat at Brighton in April and was rated 75 on the Flat, which suggests he may be too speedy for Proprioception and Reaching Out can make a winning hurdling debut.
