HAAS BOY displayed good form in bumpers and made a smooth start to his hurdles career when successful at Huntingdon before a good second on his final outing last season. An opening mark of 115 looks lenient and therefore he could go really well here. HASTY PARISIAN wasn\u2019t disgraced in a much stronger race than this last time when fourth and should be suited to the longer trip, so he\u2019s also included on the list.<\/p>\n
Selections: Haas Boy<\/strong>, Hasty Parisian<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n JAMINSKA ran a lovely race when runner-up on her debut last month to a promising sort from the Alan King stable and is expected to take a step forward from that experience here. Jane Williams\u2019 horses have been running really well on a regular basis of late, so this filly could easily step up to the plate and make a serious impact on her hurdles debut.<\/p>\n Selections: Jaminska<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n BACK ON THE LASH has won over track and trip and four times over fences last year. He returned in good form when a rallying third at Cheltenham and takes a significant drop in grade here. Harry Skelton has been booked to ride and he is only two pounds above his last winning mark, so he\u2019s a serious contender for top honours. BOBHOPEORNOHOPE ran a satisfying race when third on his return at Ascot last time and Kim Bailey\u2019s top-weight has possibilities off the same mark with C&D winning form to his name as well.<\/p>\n Selections: Back On The Lash<\/strong>, Bobhopeornohope<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Royale Dancer and Touchy Feely both have good claims and whilst the latter beat LA GOMERA, I fancy Alex Hales\u2019 charge to potentially reverse the form with that run under her belt. The winner had the benefit of experience given she ran in three bumper races but this filly made a bold effort from the front and was only beaten a couple of lengths. She is sure to have learnt a lot from that hurdles debut and could go one better with a lot more to come. She is the value call to make the frame at the very least here.<\/p>\n Selections: LA GOMERA<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n TOWN PARKS has developed a habit of being inconsistent but he\u2019s now 22Ib below his last winning mark and Sam Twiston-Davies was the last rider to win on him, so Kerry Lee\u2019s charge can\u2019t be taken lightly, especially knowing he\u2019s also won over C&D too. LOUD AS LIONS ran well for a long way on his return last month when fourth and is 5Ib below his last winning mark, so he could make a bold effort from the front here.<\/p>\n Selections: TOWN PARKS<\/strong>, LOUD AS LIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n GUMBALL is very smart when at his best and wasn\u2019t disgraced back over fences last time when fourth to Thyme White at Ascot. He has undergone wind surgery since, is a C&D winner and is well-treated on the pick of his form, so he looks a big player here. THE WIDDOW MAKER proved no match for Paint The Dream last time but it was still a decent effort and his third in a Grade 1 at Aintree is good form. He too makes the shortlist.<\/p>\n Selections: GUMBALL<\/strong>, THE WIDDOW MAKER<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 12.15 – Alpha Aggregates Handicap Hurdle – 2m5f HAAS BOY displayed good form in bumpers and made a smooth start to his hurdles career when successful at Huntingdon before a good second on his final outing last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[376],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-racing"],"yoast_head":"\n12.45 – Tanners Prosecco Fillies’ Junior ‘National Hunt’ Hurdle – 1m7f<\/h2>\n
