Hereford Place 6 Preview | 5th May

17.42 CopyBet Supporting UK Racing Handicap Chase

MAXIMUM OFFERS returned as a wide-margin winner over C&D when last seen, improving from his two previous efforts, so off only a 2lb higher mark, Jamie Snowden’s charge looks capable of doubling his tally over timber.

Tips: MAXIMUM OFFERS

MACHETE BEACH was very decent on the Flat, winning twice and shaped with credit when third on hurdles debut at Plumpton last May. He will improve for the run but can put that experience to good use and open his account.

Tips: MACHETE BEACH

18.47 CopyBet Overnight Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Hurdle

DOUBLE CLICK absolutely powered to victory over C&D last month and a 5lb higher mark should not prevent him from going in again if he can repeat that performance. I think he has outstanding credentials.

Tips: DOUBLE CLICK

19.17 Wye Valley Metals Handicap Hurdle

The drop in grade should see AMERICAN SNIPER  outclass his rivals. He’s used to competing in much stronger races and he’s back on his last winning mark. The eight-year-old has been running with credit of late, so his turn again should be near. I really fancy his chances.

Tips: AMERICAN SNIPER

19.47 Green Dragon Hotel Novices’ Handicap Hurdle

Nico and Nicky do well when they only have one ride and runner on the card, so the vote goes to ETTORE. His penultimate third at Taunton is undoubtedly the best form on offer, so a reproduction of that performance ought to be enough to see him get the job done on handicap debut.

Tips: ETTORE

20.17 Wye Valley Skips Handicap Chase

AWAY FOR THE NIGHT improved from his promising chase debut second to get off the mark at Plumpton and a 4lb rise seems fair on balance. He’s up against mostly modest opposition, so a bold bid looks firmly on the cards.
