14.20 PricedUp The Jumps’ Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t a strong race and the vote goes to the Alex Hales-trained GONE IN SIXTY, who was back to form when runner-up off a lower mark over fences last time out and is only 2lb higher. He would only need to repeat that performance to take this weak opener.<\/p>\n
Tips: GONE IN SIXTY<\/strong><\/p>\n 14.58 PricedUp Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n JOGN BARBOUR<\/strong> should take a bit of beating in the second race on the card. This bumper winner scored at the time of asking over hurdles at Newbury last season before finishing second in a decent race at Southwell.<\/p>\n He disappointed on handicap debut in a deep event at Sandown when last seen, but this is easier, so he\u2019s fancied to have a big say in the matter.<\/p>\n Tips: JOHN BARBOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n 15.28 PricedUp Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n Dan Skelton\u2019s BEAU QUALI<\/strong> has yet to score so far, but he\u2019s finished runner-up in three of his six starts and a repeat of any of those efforts should see him off the mark.<\/p>\n It won\u2019t be easy for him up against four last-time-out winners, but hopefully he can put his experience to good use and run a big race. Hurdle debut winners Squeezebox and Currumbin are likely to offer the biggest threat.<\/p>\n Tips: BEAU QUALI<\/strong><\/p>\n 15.58 pricedup.bet Mares’ Handicap Hurdle<\/strong><\/p>\n BELLE MONTROSE<\/strong> already looks like a better chaser than a hurdler and I was really taken with the way she moved through the race when scoring at Uttoxeter earlier this month.<\/p>\n Her handler seems keen to try and exploit her hurdles mark, which is only a pound higher, and I think she has a great chance.<\/p>\n Tips: BELLE MONTROSE<\/strong><\/p>\n 16.30 Paul Ferguson’s Jumpers To Follow Handicap Chase<\/strong><\/p>\n PRESENTANDCOUNTING<\/strong> won at Uttoxeter on his penultimate start by six lengths and ran really well to finish third at Bangor in a higher grade event considering he lost his right fore and hind shoe. Perhaps if he didn\u2019t lose them, the result might have been different.<\/p>\n The handicapper has surprisingly dropped him a pound, so with his sights lowered, and in the hope the same issue doesn\u2019t happen again, Donald McCain\u2019s veteran could be a major player in receipt of weight from the remainder.<\/p>\n Tips: PRESENTANDCOUNTING<\/strong><\/p>\n 17.00 Propel Finance Novices’ Handicap Chase<\/strong><\/p>\n BUMPY EVANS<\/strong> was miles clear when he fell mid-race at Uttoxeter on stable debut last week, but if that fall hasn\u2019t knocked his confidence, then compensation should be forthcoming for Kerry Lee\u2019s new recruit.<\/p>\n This winning machine for Tim Vaughan has been left on the same mark, so although that latest run was inconclusive into how he would have fared, I do think he can rank a bit higher, so he\u2019s fancied to make amends.<\/p>\n Tips: BUMPY EVANS<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 14.20 PricedUp The Jumps’ Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase This isn\u2019t a strong race and the vote goes to the Alex Hales-trained GONE IN SIXTY, who was back to form when runner-up off a lower mark over fences last time out and is only 2lb higher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":54857,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[376],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-racing"],"yoast_head":"\n
