THERE are often one or two that slip into the Northern Trust

Novices' Handicap (4.50pm) off an extremely lenient mark – the challenge is singling

out which of the 20 runners that could be.The handicapper must have been wincing when the

Irish-trained A Plus Tard cantered into the lead rounding the home turn 12

months ago and waltzed his way to a facile 16-length success.He will be hoping today's renewal will be somewhat more

competitive but there is always a danger that a few of these, like A Plus Tard,

will be competing in Grade One events this time next year.IMPERIAL AURA is a really progressive chaser and his

mark of 143 may look a tad generous in time.He was a good second to Simply The Betts in a very strong

race here on Trials Day and the third has since gone on and bolted up.Kim Bailey's stable are in better form now and he looks the

pick at 5/1 with Ladbrokes.Hold The Note looks sure to go well as does Irish raider

Galvin who appears to have been laid out for this.The pair have both been well found in the market, so I may

have a little saver on top weight PRECIOUS CARGO instead.Although once touted as a potential Arkle contender, he

appears to have been run off his feet over two miles.The half mile step up in trip is a bit of an unknown, but at

a general 14/1 I am prepared to chance my arm each-way to find out.We are set for a proper match up in the Close Brothers

Mares' Hurdle (4.10pm) when hot favourite Benie Des Dieux meets fellow Irish

raider Honeysuckle.The former is a best-priced 8/13 to make amends for last

year's heartbreaking last flight fall, while Honeysuckle can be backed at 5/2.Any rain that falls will help Benie and the safest option is

probably to keep your powder dry and watch instead.There have been plenty of changes made to the National Hunt
