Uttoxeter Race 5 - Jenningsbet 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
KADASTRAL (1) was a stylish winner of a valuable jumpers flat event at Newbury last season. Brought along steadily by Dan Skelton and could take beating in what looks another winnable assignment. SEANIECON (2) impressed scoring by 28L at Hereford last month. Open to any amount of improvement and is likely to be a real danger to the main selection. LAWTAN (8) hasn't been seen since the autumn after winning when making his third and final start in France. Warrants a market check delivering British debut. BARRY FIFE (4) previously hinted plenty of ability. Might go well so worth giving close consideration.

Recent form impressive for this race. Freshened for 35 days. Last outing raced on speed throughout then finished second of 8 starters at Newbury on February 7 over 3300m, on heavy track; 27 len behind Sober Glory carrying 73.5kg at $3. The run before won by 2 len Newbury on December 17 over 3270m defeating Legal Weapon carrying 71.5kg at $1.20 in a hurdle. Promising galloper. Very hard to beat this time.

Resumes off a 50 day letup. Last run finished fifth of 13 starters at Doncaster on January 23 over 3900m, on slow going 15 len behind Rathkenny carrying 74.5kg at $5.50. Before that made some head-way from midfield; finished sixth of 12 runners at Ascot on December 19 over 4300m, on slow going 18 len behind Crystal Island with 71.5kg at $5.50. All set to reverse the recent form.
