      Verdict

      Karju and Don't Sioux Me look head and shoulders above their five rivals in this Novice contest. Don't Sioux Me is sure to be a popular order with Conor Dore building up a useful collection of Novice hurdlers. It is fair to say though that he is a little quirky in his mannerisms and tends to sweat up profusely before his races. He does have a much in-form pilot on board though and in the context of this race, his recent form does have an element of consistency about it. We prefer the claims of Karju. Martin Todhunter's representative has carried all before him in Northern novice events and he looks one to keep on the right side of. His recent victory did come over further but his previous runs have suggested that a return to sixteen furlongs should not offer too many problems. Hartest Rose has solid bumper form but she was a disppointment when eighth of fourteen at Huntingdon last month. That may have been a minor blip though and Don Cantillon is a trainer to be respected with his newcomers. If the market speaks fair, it is advice that must not be ignored. Jojo looks to have gone backwards at a rate of knots since turning in a fair effort on British debut at Perth. The remainder look difficult to fancy. Therefore we will side with Karju on this occasion to deprive Dont Sioux Me of winning prize money.
