      Verdict

      A small but competitive field goes to post for this grade 2 novices hurdle and the principals look to be Comply Or Die,Tresor Preziniere and Champagne Harry and the confident vote to Comply Or Die. The gelding from the Martin Pipe yard is unbeaten over hurdles and he is taken to score again. He won well last time out when defeating Kaparolo and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Tresor Preziniere rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Manhunter and is sure to improve but he lacks the scope of the selection. Champagne Harry is also worthy of respect but his limitations were exposed when third behind Mantilla last time and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder East Lawyer was a fair sort in France and he is sure to have been well schooled by his top yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Comply Or Die.
