What is interesting about tomorrow’s racing is that we see 2 horses that started the season with tall reputations and great expectations but have not yet fulfilled their promise as yet.
Nevada Royale, trained by Paul Nicholls came with a string of point to point wins behind him, when ridden by Rachel Green. Unfortunately he took a very heavy fall on his rules debut in a novice chase at Newbury in December. Connections have decided to go down the hurdles route with him now this season and he runs in the Exeter 2.30.
Kealshore Boy won bumpers at Kelso and Newcastle last season before finishing 2nd in a decent bumper at Aintree in May. He was snapped up by big spending Graham Wylie but only got off the mark at the 3rd time of asking over hurdles. That win came at Newcastle and he returns over course and distance in the 2.50. It will be interesting to see how he runs as the stable have been under a bit of a cloud recently.
