Verdict
Zonergem, I D Technology and Gaelic Flight look the ones to concentrate on in this novices hurdle and the confident vote goes to Zonergem. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Dancer Life and need only reproduce that effort to score. I D Technology rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Party Games but he remains a far from fluent jumper and for that reason he is opposed. Gaelic Flight is another that could go well he is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and he won his last bumper in good style when defeating Troodos Valley and he will not be far away. Of the remainder Genero is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Zonergem.
