13.15 William Hill Proper Prices Novices’ Hurdle
RUBBER BALL returned as a convincing winner at Uttoxeter two weeks ago and cannot be taken lightly despite coming up against TUTTI QUANTI and KIENTZHEIM, who have the potential to also rank higher.
Tips: RUBBER BALL, TUTTI QUANTI & KIENTZHEIM
13.50 William Hill Top Price Guarantee Handicap Hurdle
HAITI COULEURS has won four of his last five starts and doesn’t look badly treated off a mark of 135 back over hurdles. He should make a bold bid. SANTOS BLUE, BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE, and last time out winner UP FOR PAROL can also go well. The consistent KRUGER PARK and the thriving SHUTUPSHIRLEY can also be included.
Tips: HAITI COULEURS, SANTOS BLUE, BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE, UP FOR PAROL, KRUGER PARK & SHUTUPSHIRLEY
14.25 William Hill Bet10 Get10 On Racing Denman Chase
Paul Nicholls has a stranglehold on this race with both BRAVEMANSGAME and HITMAN in the field. The former is probably past his best, but he’s unbeaten in three starts here, and if he’s going to win another race, it will be this one. I think he’s going to get back to winning ways, though the latter has the form to pose a threat.
Tips: BRAVEMANSGAME & HITMAN
15.00 William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Game Spirit Chase
This can go the way of MATATA, who produced an exceptional display when scoring at Windsor last time out. He looked well-suited to the first-time services of JJ Slevin, and given he comes out extremely well on these terms, such as his rating and weight, he can take this before having a decent chance in the Champion Chase.
Tips: MATATA
15.35 William Hill Hurdle
FIERCELY PROUD had a few of these well beaten when scoring at Ascot last time out, and the form has worked out well with Kabral Du Mathan and Secret Squirrel finishing second and first at Windsor since. Despite going up 9lb, this youngster should go well with more to come. I will also cover JOYEUSE and top-weight LUMP SUM, who could have a say in the matter. FAVOUR AND FORTUNE is another to consider.
Tips: FIERCELY PROUD, JOYEUSE, LUMP SUM & FAVOUR AND FORTUNE
16.10 William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase
HERAKLES WESTWOOD is making relentless progress in this sphere, and a 5lb rise for his latest success at Windsor doesn’t seem enough to prevent the hat trick. LORD OF THUNDER chased home Handstands last time out and must be respected.
Tips: HERAKLES WESTWOOD & LORD OF THUNDER
