GENEROUS HELPING
GENEROUS DAY (3.35) looks set to repeat his 2019 triumph in the racingtv.com Handicap Chase at Warwick.
Henry Oliver’s gelding put in his best shift since when slamming Grand Turina over 2m 3f at Hereford last month.
The nine-year-old still lurks on an attractive mark so can land this trappy event back down in trip.
GEROMINO (1.0) ought to maintain Donald McCain’s winning run in the novices’ hurdle at Newcastle. The fiveyear-old showed the benefits of wind surgery when second to Omar Maretti at Catterick this month so should go one better under Brian Hughes.
The champion jockey can boost his title defence on CLONDAW CAITLIN (2.35).
Ruth Jefferson’s horse was a cracking third behind Galvin in a red-hot novices’ chase at Cheltenham in October. The six-year-old is even better over timber so can resume winning ways for her shrewd handler.
Nigel Twiston-Davies is in excellent form so it’s worth backing NYE BEVAN (1.30).
The hurdler recorded a clear personal best when just denied by the useful Darkest Day at Plumpton so should strike for skilled 10lb claimer Jamie Neild.
WHOA BLACK BETTY (4.52) looks poised to call the tune for Jacqueline Stephen in the conditionals’ hurdle. The mare looks fairly treated as a stayer after beating Permission Granted at Musselburgh.
COURT JURADO (2.50) can lay down the law for team McCain in the two-miler at Fakenham. The chaser routed Goldencard here in November and should be primed after a spin on the all-weather.
REVEREND JACOBS (3.25) ought to maintain Nick Kent’s excellent run in the Buttifant Handicap Hurdle. The gelding got the better of Crackdeloust at Wetherby last week and remains well treated on his Flat form so can add this tricky event to his tally.
Neil Mulholland is also thriving so RUNASIMI RIVER (4.0) is worthy of support.
The eight-year-old hurdler built on excellent efforts when narrowly beating Midnight Ginger at Plumpton.
That is the best form on offer in a tight handicap so this likeable type ought to shrug off an 4lb hike.
