The only runner from our list to follow today was Aztec Warrior who won the novice chase at Folkestone at 7/2.
We have 3 runners from the list in action tomorrow with Kinburn probably the most likely winner. He runs in the 2.20 at Hexham. His last run was in a listed contest at Wetherby where he was 2nd over an inadequate trip. He has not always been the most fluent jumper but he got round the stiff fences at Wetherby. The Howard Johnson horses have been running well and this 4 mile trip could well play to the horse’s strengths.
Our other runner is Caribou in the 2.10 at Warwick. Caribou made a promising start to his chasing career when 3rd at Worcester last month. The 2 mile trip here just might be on the sharp side for him though.
Looking ahead at the entries for Thursday I see that Charlie Egerton has Rio Bravo in the 12.40 at Market Rasen. The stable won this race last season.
Yaboya was a consistent sort over hurdles last season and may make his chase debut at Market Rasen in the 2.10. Fourty Acers, trained by David Pipe is another horse from our list to follow entered in the same race. This one improved with every run over hurdles last season and looks the type to do well over fences. Our 3rd runner is Keenan’s Future who proved a progressive novice hurdler last season winning at Wetherby and Exeter.
Closed Shop made an excellent start to his hurdles career when 2nd at Wincanton last month and looks nailed on for similar. He is entered in the Wincanton 4.00.
Harringay, from our list to follow is entered in the 3.00 at Wincanton. I see that Alan King has Senorita Rumbalita down for this race.
Prince of Slane is a thorough stayer who ended last season by winning at Catterick over 3 miles 6. He is entered in the 2.40 at Market Rasen but may find the trip on the short side for him.
I will be back on Thursday evening.
