TWO MILES ABOUT FOUR FURLONGS (2M 4F) FOR NOVICE FOUR, FIVE AND SIX YRS OLD FILLIES AND MARES

THE VICKERS.BET EBF MARES’ ‘NATIONAL HUNT’ NOVICES’ HURDLE RACE

(CLASS 4) (EBF Mares’ NH Novices’ Hurdle Series Qualifer) (GBB RACE)

Total prize fund £9000 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3756, 2nd £1878, 3rd £939, 4th £470. (Penalty Value £4901.40)

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): E Williams (42 wins from 353 runners, 12%) runs GILWEN ROSIE

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Skelton (14 wins from 61 runners, 23%) runs ROYALE DANCE

LONGEST TRAVELLER: PICNIC IN THE PARK trained by H Fry, Corscombe, 154 miles.

This longer trip should suit BOMBAY SAPPHIRE who is selected to take advantage of the weight she receives from Dan Skelton’s Royale Dance. Expensive Irish point recruit Ah Whisht is another who could have a say, while Hidden Beauty would be a major player if showing up after Taunton.

ACEY MILAN wasn’t on his game when last seen but has gone well fresh in the past and gets the marginal vote over Envoye Special No Getaway is a useful sort on his day, so he’s another one to consider on debut for a new yard.
