Go for a Good Run in Stayers’ Handicap

– Good Run shaped with promise when winning at Newcastle in November and despite a bit of a break in the interim, he is still the pick today for the Betway Stayers’ Handicap.

Twice a winner in 2015, Good Run was beaten out of sight by Imperial Aviator in his only turf start last May and was then off the track until that Newcastle run.

Gelded in the interim, he looked a different animal as he overcame a less-than-perfect passage

London

to win in style.

Artscape should find a starting mark of 75 well within his compass in the 32Red.com Handicap at Kempton.

Quite a keen-going sort, he could be even better if he can learn to settle.

Clan Legend should appreciate the better ground in the Howdens Joinery Chase at Haydock.

The seven-year-old has won two of his four outings over fences this winter, facing heavy conditions on each occasion.

While he has more than held his own, Clan Legend has certainly shaped as though a better surface might bring about some improvement, most notably so when just hanging on for the win at Kelso this month.

A 1kg rise for that verdict is not too harsh, particularly as the slightly quicker ground here might help offset that a bit.

The Nipper is a mare on the up and she can strike again in the Howdens Joinery Mares’ ``National Hunt’’ Novices’ Hurdle.

She won as she pleased at Newcastle recently, supplementing a previous win at Lingfield, and even 5.5kg of penalties may not be enough to stop her.

Multiculture has won two of his three outings in this country and can score again in the GES Novices’ Hurdle at Warwick.

He had 21-length stroll at Wincanton last time and should do so again. –
