Beyond Conceit can go all the way
– BALLYANDY has the look of a well handicapped horse and can give Nigel TwistonDavies his biggest haul of the season in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury tomorrow.
Last season’s Festival Bumper winner is inexperienced over jumps and yet to win, but can add to the good record novices have in this contest.
He found only the smart Messire Des Obeaux too strong at Sandown last time and that form in the hottest race of its kind run this winter gives him an excellent chance to deliver.
Altior will be all the rage for the Betfair Exchange Chase but GARDE LA VICTOIRE can make sure the unbeaten novice doesn’t have things completely his own way.
Philip Hobbs has done well campaigning Garde La Victoire under
London
both jumping codes and seen him land the Welsh Champion Hurdle as well as a valuable handicap chase at Sandown.
The flat, galloping track will suit the selection who makes plenty of Eachway appeal with Richard Johnson in the irons.
But the Nap vote goes to BEYOND CONCEIT in the Read Paul Nicholls Exclusively At Betfair Novices’ Hurdle.
Nicky Henderson’s charge was an impressive winner of his only start over jumps at this course.
By retaining his unbeaten record Beyond Conceit can earn a trip to the Cheltenham Festival where his target is the Neptune Novices’ Hurdle.
