A big field form this novices’ hurdle but it shouldn’t take much winning. FIDELIO VALLIS was beaten when falling at the last at Chepstow but that was probably a decent contest and he should take all the beating here with a clear round. Ragamuffin won a race on the level at a point-to-point meet last month and has plenty of scope. Sadlermor has hinted at ability and so has Right Hand Of God but Marilyn Monroe has shown nothing over timber despite having won a point and a bumper.
