The first race on the card on day 2 at the Aintree Festival is the excellent Novices Hurdle race as we get the very best young hurdlers in Liverpool, many of the contenders from the Supreme Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival will head to Aintree to ensure a top class renewal. In 2012 we saw the excellent General Miller beat the favourite Menorah in an exciting finish, the Nicky Henderson horse gained revenge for his defeat at Cheltenham and we would expect a similar class level in 2012.
