Sky Pirate is the talking horse in what could prove to be an above average novices hurdle by Worcester standards. He cost the princely sum of £150,000 at Cheltenham in March after winning a Larkhill Open Maiden Point in February. The market is the best guide to his chance on his rules debut, as he seeks to take advantage of receiving 6lb from the penalised Southwell scorer KINGS RYDE. However, the Nicky Henderson trained five-year-old has a year on his younger rival, and that all important hurdles experience under his belt. He missed a planned engagement here last week due to the overly fast ground, but looks fully capable of defying a penalty with Nico De Boinville back in the saddle (1 from 1 aboard).
