        Verdict

        Another competitive field goes to post for this novices hurdle with many in form rivals in opposition and the principals appear to be Ollie Magern, Can't Be Scrabble and Howya Matey, and the selection is Ollie Magern. The five year old from the Nigle Twiston Davis yard has won his last two races. Is a course and distance winner who goes on the ground and his latest win over Porbus Lord proves he is still improving and he will be hard to beat despite giving weight to all of his rivals. Can't Be Scrabble rates the main danger on his lates second behind Donnie Dooly but he needs to improve again to defeat the selection. Of there remainder Howya Matey is from a top yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market. The rest need to improve on all known form to trouble the judge.
