Andy Stewart Racing's Great Friend Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
2m 11y
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneAll eyes will be on Paul Nicholls' KNAPPERS HILL as the exciting three-time bumper winner makes an eagerly-awaited hurdling debut and with the master trainer issuing positive bulletins about his progress recently, it looks unwise to take him on even at cramped odds. For all that, both Dan Skelton and Nigel Twiston-Davies saddle potentially interesting newcomers in the shape of Pikar and Supasunrise respectively, while Colin Tizzard's Earth Business showed useful form when not beaten far behind Nicholls' subsequent winner Tulin at Taunton last spring.
