KINGSTON PRIDE (2) stopped quickly pulling up in the G2 Winter Novices Hurdle at Sandown during December. Likely failed to cope with the conditions that day. Did look good winning at Uttoxeter in November and can bounce back to score on better ground. JUVENTUS DE BRION (5) failed to land short odds at Newcastle last time. Sound form claims on his good second in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow. Narrow Wincanton runner-up J J MOON (4) might give a decent account once more. SLIPWAY (9) is tough to ignore on ratings alone.
