Neptune Novices Hurdle

The Supreme Novices thread seems to be getting plenty of activity so thought I'd start one up for the following days opener. Long been a favourite of mine with Ten Plus, Asir, Thetford Forest, Fundamentalist and Massini's Maguire contributing to the Tidwell coffers over the years. It's been a bit of a nightmare in recent years though trying to identify the runners since the Albert Bartlett joined the fray.

Fingal Bay doesnt interest me at the price while he's not a confirmed runner so two against the field at the moment:

Monksland - already mentioned in another thread. Last race he won was also used as a prep by Nicanor and near misses Venalmar and Trafford Lad if memory serves. 16/1 still available is very fair with this race seemingly the certain aim

Broadbackbob. I get the feeling from BGs blogs that he's very keen on this fellow and has done nothing wrong in two starts this season. Might have been a shade fortunate to beat Cinders and Ashes first time up but the trip was surely inadequate and he would have needed it . Newbury run stamped him as a stayer and he strikes me as Geraghty's likely mount in this race (cant see him gloing for either of the other two races). His bumper run at Aintree was a real eyecatcher...the amateur jockey seemed to find every bit of trouble going and the birds had flown by the time he got going - should have been third at the very least. 25/1 seems far too big at the moment (despite the trainers record in it!)?
