Hereford Race 5 - Green Dragon Hotel Novices' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)
AMERICAN EMPIRE (3) appeals as the leading chance after finishing 3rd at Hereford over this trip last start, beaten 8.5L in a 13-runner field. SOUTHEY (4) was runner-up at Ayr over 3319m when last seen, only 1.5L from the winner, and can be competitive if ready after a break. ETTORE (5) placed at Taunton two starts ago and is suited at this distance. NOT SO SOBERS (1) has a recent placing at Chelmsford but was well beaten at Leicester last time. TAO ENKI (2) has placed once from six starts and needs to improve on recent efforts. TRIPLE HAYCH (6) has struggled for impact in recent runs.
