Im going to go with a couple of longshots in this race, that will undoubtedly turn out to be a total slog. Bottman was a promising novice hurdler and looked to be going the right way over over fences as well this year. He was poor on his last run at Cheltenham, but previous to that had been looking like a decent prospect. He has a good Novice Hurdle win on Soft ground and staying shouldn’t be a problem , he looks worth  a min bet at the current odds on Betfair of 50. Qulinton is a bit of a shot in the dark here, he is generally better t this time of the year on better ground, but his one good run this season was his only other start over hurdles in a similar race at Cheltenham. If he can act on the ground at all he is in here with a light weight and might be worth a bet at 48 on Betfair.

 

½ Point win Bottman 50 Betfair

½ Point win Qulinton 48 Betfair
