Hexham 12.50. The Reverend has always been well thought of by his trainer. He dead heated for first place in an Irish Point to Pint at Lismore, a race that Best Mate had contested in a previous season. He continued that promise over hurdles when accounting for a decent horse of Len Lungo’s called Wild Cane Ridge but then ran into injury problems.
He started his chase career last month with a second behind One Sniff at Hexham followed by a win at Wetherby. He is a talented horse who seems to be going the right way.
1.20 Double Default is another Irish points winner. He makes his debut here fro trainer Nicky Richards.
Leicester 1.00 Genghis is a former winner of the Scottish Champion Hurdle. He makes his chase debut here and has apparently schooled well. He3 will take some beating if taking to fences. The obvious danger is Bob Hall who ran with plenty of promise when 3rd to Mr Pointment at Bangor last month.
2.30 Berengario beat Into the Shadows last time out at Huntingdon and that horse has franked the form by winning since.
I don’t have time to preview the excellent card at Fairyhouse tomorrow. Sorry about that.
