FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BALLYBURN is this season's outstanding novice hurdler and has already won two bumpers at this course. Defeated on hurdling debut last December, he has since proven himself to be top class, defeating subsequent Supreme Novices Hurdle winner Slade Steel by seven lengths in February before winning well from today's rival Jimmy Du Seuil in the Gallagher Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham. The selection is ground-versatile, suited by this distance and has a huge rating of 163 for a novice. Jimmy Du Seuil is rated 18lb inferior and after Cheltenham, was subsequently beaten four lengths by Staffordshire Knot at Aintree so might struggle to turn around that form, in a likely battle for second-place.
A novice hurdle for four years old and upwards
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 6lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs
