It's al­ways a fren­zied at­mos­phere and book­ies will be on the back-foot if Palawi, as ex­pect­ed, jus­ti­fies favouritism in the open­ing Ju­ve­nile Novices' Hur­dle over two miles. Mine will be! Palawi has a 'ton' in hand. Get On! Amau­ry de Lusig­nan will have his sup­port­ers for the NH Novices' Hur­dle over two and a half miles of the left-hand­ed south-coastal venue but price-wise, Twin Bud makes more ap­peal and rates a sol­id each-way bet trained by the ex­cel­lent An­na New­ton-Smith. West-coun­try race­go­ers are al­so con­front­ed with a Ju­ve­nile Novices' Hur­dle over an ex­tend­ed two miles and it af­fords an ex­cel­lent op­por­tu­ni­ty for Ba­le­ri­na. If she doesn't win this!
