A ROYAL OCCASION
ROYAL RESERVE (4.20) can reign for Lucinda Russell on a cracking National Hunt card at Musselburgh.
The gelding was useful at best on the Flat and comfortably defeated an in-form
on his hurdling return at Newcastle last month.
The six-year-old is still nicely unexposed over timber and can follow up that success for the skilled Arlary handler.
Russell is hitting form and can also claim the novice chase
Dreaming Wishfull
BY GARRY OWEN with ( 3.45). The eight-year-old slammed
over course and distance on his fencing bow and should confirm his superiority.
Tim Vaughan’s (2.40) will take all the beating in the maiden hurdle. The six-yearold finished third to on his UK debut at Huntingdon and can open his account over an extra four furlongs.
It would be criminal to miss
ELMONO Minded Just LANDSMAN Heatstroke
(3.15) in the ESPC Handicap Hurdle.
Ben Haslam’s gelding landed the 2015 Pertemps Final off a mark of 138 and shaped like his turn was coming when second to at Newcastle.
(4.50) can land a trappy mares’ hurdle for Lambourn handler Barry Brennan. A good second over fences at Leicester, the nineyear-old remains on a workable mark after her winning return to timber at Plumpton.
CALL THE COPS Petite Ganache HOPE’S WISHES MR
(1.50) can maintain Wiltshire handler Keiran Burke’s excellent run at Wincanton.
The seven- year- old just denied over track and trip and can build on that personal best under useful 7lb claimer Jason Dixon. It all points to Emma Lavelle’s
(2.20) in the CRS Handicap Hurdle. The gelding was a decent performer for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland and his smart new connections can eke out progress.
MAGILL Crossley Tender STATISTICAL DENTLEY
(2.50) can shade the feature CRS Building Supplies Chase for Nick Williams.
The six-year-old has shown fair form in novice company and looks tailor-made for handicaps after a good fourth to in a hot event at Cheltenham.
(3.55) can stay on the upgrade for Paul Henderson in the two-mile hurdle.
The gelding landed a warm 2m 3f contest at Fontwell on debut for his connections and can defy a 5lb hike down in trip.
