A Pai De Nom in line for victory at Leicester

A Pai De Nom should be able to defy a penalty in the KubeLeicester's Premier Events Venue Novices’ Hurdle at Leicester.

Dan Skelton is dropping his five-year-old back into novice company, having won a handicap at Cheltenham on his previous outing.

He tries the minimum trip here on a sharp track but it should not be an issue with the way he travelled at Cheltenham.

Last off the bridle, he looked like winning comfortably before a scruffy jump at the last meant it was harder work than it should have been.
