Cap du Mathan should pick up a race over fences sooner rather than later and merits respect but Robin’s Dream, who was a promising novice hurdler a couple of seasons back, could be a bigger threat if fully tuned-up for this.

The eyes are immediately drawn to RARE MIDDLETON, who showed plenty in a couple of runs on the level in Ireland for Andrew Oliver and is a potentially useful recruit to this sphere for the Paul Nicholls yard. The weight-for-age allowance he receives from the majority of these is another positive factor. Though well held both starts over hurdles to date, Bascule remains of interest given his Flat ability and Parc d’Amour isn’t written off but Moodofthemoment is preferred for forecast purposes.

Danton had an excuse on hurdle debut and showed plenty of ability in a bumper prior to that so he’s the obvious one for the forecast spot.

TFRHHHII BHA124 This is a two miles and three furlongs handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 130. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

The vote goes to FOREVER WILLIAM, who wasn’t disgraced in a competitive 21f Cheltenham handicap last time and he looks feasibly treated, particularly judged on his placed efforts in Graded company last season. Sayadam has done little wrong in this sphere and should give another good account, but if the unbeaten Lady Adare is ready to roll following 10 months off she could emerge as the main danger given her potential. Yes No Maybe So is also worthy of consideration.

TIMEFORMVIEWGained Second success at Fakenham (both 2 1/2m) when seeing off 5 rivals in a mares’ handicap in October Came up short from inflated mark when fourth back at that venue last time but she’s no forlorn hope in an open-looking handicap. TFRHHHII BHA85 This is a two miles and half a furlong handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards fillies and mares only which have been rated from 0 to 100. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 100 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 95.

One vet is present at the start of each race and during the race follows the runners in a vehicle Horses can be attended to in the same time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys.
A second vet follows the action from the stands and coordinates the required response to any incidents. In addition, throughout the meeting a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected around the horse It is designed to afford the vet and horse some privacy. Please do not assume the worst.
