12.55 Weatherbys Hamilton Handicap Hurdle
FOR PLEASURE is a difficult horse to beat when allowed a soft lead, and this C&D winner represents a stable in excellent form, so he’s of interest. SANITISER cruised to success at Kempton last time out and is feared most.
Tips: FOR PLEASURE, SANITISER
13.25 Fakenham Proudly Supports British Farming Families Novices’ Handicap Hurdle
Despite being extremely short in the betting, LASER FOCUS cannot be opposed. This three-time winner on the Flat absolutely bolted up at Huntingdon when last seen and should be too good for these off an unchanged mark.
Tips: LASER FOCUS
13.55 50,000 Queen Boudicca Series Qualifier Mares’ Handicap Chase
CLUAIN AODHA can find herself only 2lb below her last winning mark and was last seen finishing a close-up third at Uttoxeter. Off the same mark, she’s a big player. Her biggest danger could turn out to be MICRONORMOUS who should appreciate the ease in class.
Tips: CLUAIN AODHA, MICRONORMOUS
14.30 EBF Fillies’ Junior ‘National Hunt’ Hurdle
HARTHOPE is related to several winners and has a good chance to show what he can do on his hurdle debut. MADAME LUNA and NINNA COLLINA also warrant respect on their first outing in this sphere and must be included as cover to ensure we get through this race.
Tips: HARTHOPE, MADAME LUNA, NINNA COLLINA
15.05 Anglia Car Auctions Maiden Hurdle
James Owen has his team in excellent order, and there’s a good chance that SECRET DES DIEUX will provide him with another winner. He shaped as though he would improve for the run when down the field on his hurdle debut last time out and must go well in a winnable contest.
Tips: SECRET DES DIEUX
15.40 Weatherbys & Birdie Calendars Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase
LUNAR CONTACT improved for the change to positive tactics when scoring over C&D last month, beating Instant Gambler, who was in search of a five-timer. Off only a 4lb higher mark, with Callum Pritchard booked to ride, he’s the one to beat.
Tips: LUNAR CONTACT
