Race preview from Weatherbys
The opening race on today’s card is the Weatherbys Stallion Book ConditionalJockeys’SellingHandicap Hurdle, staged over an extended 2m2f.
The Paul Nicholls-trained Silent Revolution heads the weights and the eight-year-old reverts to hurdles havingrunoverfencesoneachofhis past three starts. Whilst a lot of his form has come on better ground, he won a soft ground bumper and the ground was similar when he finished thirdatNewburyinlate-December.He wasrated128thenandifrecapturing thatsortofform,hewouldhavetobe ofinterestoffjust115.
Formerly trained by John Joseph Murphy, Brazos ran three times for Alexandra Dunn in the spring of 2023 andreturnsfromabreakof536days. His maiden hurdle win did come on heavy ground, although that was backinJanuary2021anditisdifficult to be too positive about the 10-yearoldfollowingsuchalengthylay-off.
Dan Skelton runs the mare Presenting Nelly and she, too, was a soft ground winner, at Ayr in April. Disappointing at Worcester earlier this month, she is still quite lightly-raced and was a heavyground winner at this track a year ago, beating a subsequent Listed winnerintheprocess.Skeltonhashis horses in good order and if you can forgive that latest run, the sevenyear-old is probably the one to beat,
in first time cheek-pieces and with conditionslikelytosuit.
Afta Party was a winner on this card 12 months ago
AftaParty was a winner on this card 12 months ago, causing a 50-1 shock in the 2m1f novices’ hurdle, on what washisfirststartforMarkGillard.That win came on soft ground, whilst it was good when he won a Worcester handicap during the summer, off a markof97.Notinthesameformsince, it remains to be seen as to whether or not the grey wants the ground as testingasitisforecasttobe.
Another ex-Flat performer is David Pipe’s Kintaro, who has yet to win in five starts over hurdles. The fouryear-oldranquitewellatWorcesterin June, but thatcame ongood ground andagain,therewouldbeaquestion mark about him acting under very testingconditions.Hegetsa3lbsage allowance which results in him being 1lboutofthehandicap.
Tip Top Tonto is 3lbs ‘wrong’ at the weights.Awinnerongoodgroundfor DrRichardNewlandandJamieInsole at Fakenham in April, the eight-yearold has run twice for Rhys and John Flint, latterly at Worcester where he was a long way behind Kintaro. The remaining trio are much further out ofthehandicapsolookupagainstit.
