13.35 Century Racing Club Free Horse Giveaway Novices’ Hurdle
BEAU QUALI shaped promisingly when second on his sole start for David Cottin and must be of interest on stable debut for the Skelton’s. Paul Nicholls’ Farland is the one to beat, but I feel as though this youngster could turn out to be above average.
Tips: BEAU QUALI
14.10 Century Racing Club Free Horse Giveaway Novices’ Hurdle
LE FAUVE made a winning debut in a bumper at this meeting last year, and despite being beaten when last seen, Dan Skelton often has his team in good order at this time of year. This four-year-old has an excellent chance on his return.
Tips: LE FAUVE
14.45 Capital Windscreens In Memory Of Aaron James EBF Mares’ ‘National Hunt’ Novices’ Hurdle
REGATTA DE BLANC won two of her three hunter-chase events under rules when trained by Will Biddick and is now interestingly in the care of Paul Nicholls. She is unbeaten in points and has been found a golden opportunity to make a successful stable debut.
Tips: REGATTA DE BLANC
15.15 Unibet Persian War Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 2)
FLYING FORTUNE is on a roll in this sphere, winning her last three starts, and is well worth a shot at this level. The weight she is getting from her main market rivals could prove vital, so despite this being her toughest assignment to date, she won’t go down without a fight.
Tips: FLYING FORTUNE
15.50 Unibet Veterans’ Handicap Chase
ENRILO will find this easier than the race he contested when last seen and has undergone wind surgery since, so he’s interesting on his return, while the well handicapped DIOL KER and recent Market Rasen winner, FRANCKY DU BERLAIS, are others to consider.
Tips: ENRILO, DIOL KER, FRANCKY DU BERLAIS
16.25 Carl Pyne 60th Birthday Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase
HAITI COULEURS won back-to-back events earlier this year and has the scope and potential to be an even better chaser. ISAAC DES OBEAUX gained two wins last year and finished third in a Grade 2 race at Cheltenham earlier this year, so he’s feared most.
Tips: HAITI COULEURS, ISAAC DES OBEAUX
