NAP: REGENT’S STROLL – (12.30)
NB: PIPING ROCK – (1.30)
Treble: BESPOKE TAILOR – (2.00)
12.30: REGENT’S STROLL should take a significant step forward following his third-placed effort on chase debut at Newbury last time out, where he was too free throughout the race. He remains with significant potential and should make it tough for Jeriko Du Reponet here. (5/6) (Win) (NAP)
1.00: SHOT BOII could take advantage of what looks like a very tempting mark here, with a further notable ten pounds coming off his back via Rian Corcoran’s significant ten-pound claim. He should also show a considerable amount of improvement coming into his second start of the campaign here. (11/2) (Each-Way)
1.30: PIPING ROCK posted a very encouraing effort on his rules debut at Windsor last month, finishing second of nine behind Tiddesley Wood, and keeping on in the closing stages. He should’ve learnt a great deal from that outing, and should make a big impression in this particular assignment. (7/4) (Win) (NB)
2.00: BESPOKE TAILOR was a seven-length winner of a bumper at Newcastle twelve months ago, and progressed from his hurdling debut at Fontwell to finish a very respectable third of fourteen in a Class 2 event at Cheltenham last month, just two and a quarter of a length behind the winner. That’s solid form, and a repeat of that level could be enough to win this. (11/4) (Win) (Treble)
2.30: NOAHSGREATRAINBOW looked promising within bumpers a couple of seasons ago, notably, when finishing two lengths second to Royal Infantry at Listed level at Newbury. He struggled over hurdles; however, posted his best effort to date at Hereford last time out when finishing second of seven. He makes his handicap and chase debut here, and could prove a different proposition within this sphere. (3/1) (Win)
3.00: RIVIERA WALK posted a solid effort on her hurdles debut at Chepstow on her penultimate start, finishing second of five behind Settle Down Jill. She failed to build on that at Hereford last time out; however, she should still have more to offer over obstacles. She also has a very handy seven pounds coming off her back here via Benjamin Macey’s claim, and if she returns to the form of her Chepstow run, she could outrun a big price. (12/1) (Each-Way)
3.30: SEA WARRIOR showed promise in his three starts to date within maiden and novice company, notably when fifth of twelve at Exeter last month, in what was his first start in over a year. He could improve significantly here, and he could also have a considerable amount of progression to come now that he reverts to handicap company. (5/1) (Each-Way)
