Wetherby Place 6 preview | 18th November
12.09 – Dransfields CIU Novices’ Hurdle – 2m3f
LUNAR CHIEF won on debut at Newcastle and shaped well when fourth on hurdles debut, and he should improve to make an impact here. JAR DU DESERT should be suited to the step up in distance on stable debut and is next best.
Tips: LUNAR CHIEF, JAR DU DESERT
12.44 – Follow RacingTV On Twitter Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase – 1m7f
JUNGLE JACK has only finished out of the top two once in his career, which came last time in a harder race than this at Aintree. He will be hard to beat on his chase debut. NELLS SON made a winning reappearance at Carlisle and should make a bold bid, while INEDIT STAR won in France last time and cannot be discounted.
Tips: JUNGLE JACK, NELLS SON, INEDIT STAR
13.19 – Slingsby Gin Peak Cap & Pearls Handicap Hurdle – 2m3f
MOLLY OLLYS WISHES is a multiple-listed winner, and her last win came when she was rated 143. I think she will outclass these fitted with first-time cheekpieces. SERIOUS OPERATOR is played as cover though, who will find this easier than last time and has conditions to suit.
Tips: MOLLY OLLYS WISHES, SERIOUS OPERATOR
13.54 – Chairman’ Colin Baldwin Memorial Handicap Chase – 2m3f
ERNE RIVER has course-winning form and will relish this easier race than he’s used to. His record of 31111 at this level or lower makes him the one to beat. Former Grade 1 winner CORNERSTONE LAD is well-handicapped nowadays and should be competitive against these.
Tips: ERNE RIVER, CORNERSTONE LAD
14.29 – Join Racing TV Now ‘Introductory’ Hurdle – 2m
FAVOUR AND FORTUNE has only met with defeat once, which came in the Champion Bumper, and he was impressive on his hurdles debut last time. He is destined to reach much higher ranks in this sphere, so he is handed a confident vote to remain unbeaten over hurdles.
Tips: FAVOUR AND FORTUNE
15.04 – Save Our Sport Sign The Petitioni Handicap Hurdle – 2m
RICHMOND LAKE has won three of his last four starts and can compete from a lower mark back over hurdles, so he could be hard to beat. IT’S GOOD TO LAUGH is fit after a spell on the flat and goes well on soft ground. He looks well treated off this mark, with lots in his favour.
Tips: RICHMOND LAKE, IT’S GOOD TO LAUGH
