JOSSES CAN BE A GIANT

Josses Hill is fancied to emerge triumphant in the Betfred Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon tomorrow, on what might be the best jumping Sunday of the season so far.

Nicky Henderson’s eight-year-old seems to have been around for longer than he has and might not yet have gained the rewards his talents deserve.

Second only to the much-missed Vautour in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle of 2014, he subsequently picked up a Grade Two at Aintree before making the switch to fences.

There is no doubt his fencing has been questioned when push has come to shove in the big tests like the Arkle and Ryanair, but equally he is good when it goes right.

The latter was the case when he dismissed useful hurdler Camping Ground in a two-runner affair at Kempton on his reappearance and with Henderson going great guns now, he has to be the one to beat.

Grove Silver can give his supporters a big run for their money in the the Persimmon Homes Scottish Borders National Handicap Chase at Kelso.

The Jennie Candlishtrained seven-year-old banished memories of a poor effort when odds-on for a three-runner race at Musselburgh to win with some style at Uttoxeter last month. A consistent sort who jumps and stays, he would relish some cut in the ground but either way looks well worth his chance from the right end of the handicap in a marathon contest such as this.

The Dutchman should offer up a bold account in the Cuthbert Paris Pike Novices’ Chase.

Sam Spinner can make it two from two over timber in the Black Swan Kelso Novices’ Hurdle.

Jedd O’Keeffe’s bumper winner is penalised for his debut jumping win at Newcastle but is held in some regard by a yard that knows the time of day.

There’s top stuff all the way at Fairyhouse, where the Bar One Racing Hatton’s Grace Hurdle takes centre stage, with Vroum Vroum Mag setting the standard on her return.

Peace News can take the Group One Bar One Racing Royal Bond Novice Hurdlee.
