14:30 Fontwell

Only five runners for the National Spirit Hurdle at Fontwell on Sunday but most of this field come here with a point to prove so I think it looks a great chance for KNAPPERS HILL to resume his progress. He was well held in the Kingwell Hurdle when second to I Like To Move It but I don’t see anything of that calibre of opposition in this field and I think he could prove the answer. He put Sceau Royal in his place to win the Elite Hurdle back in November and is still open to further improvement. I think Cobden will go forward again on him here and he might not come back to them this time. Goshen is on a retrieval mission having failed to take to fences and could be the danger under Jamie Moore. Brewin’upastorm has had yet another wind op but is a 10yo now and I’d have my reservations about him. Sceau Royal is another one not getting any younger and looks up against it back over hurdles.
