Perfect chance for Hush to get back on track

Tips: Evan Williams’ filly well placed to pick up timely confidence booster

EVENING HUSH can get a confidenceboosting victory under her belt in the 188Bet St Mary’s Lands 4-Y-O Fillies’ Handicap Hurdle at Warwick.

Evan Williams’ representative is a really smart horse, with a Listed success and a Grade One runner-up place at Chepstow already on the CV.

She also travelled strongly for a long way in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but wilted late on and finished 12th.

It barely goes without saying that this is a much easier task and Williams has made no secret of the fact he believes his filly really needs a win to get back on the right track. This looks the perfect opportunity.

Trainer Paul Midgley can finally saddle NINJAGO to victory when the sprinter lines up at Wolverhampton.

The North Yorkshire handler has made little secret of the admiration he holds for the seven-year-old gelding, who was transferred to Midgley from Richard Hannon’s yard last May.

Ninjago has occasionally threatened to live up to the positive vibes, but the hard fact remains he has gone 12 races without success for his new trainer.

The son of Mount Nelson has, however, been aggressively campaigned in good company, so perhaps this descent into class three company for the 32Red.com Handicap might do.

There was, after all, just reason for optimism for the future over this course and distance on his last outing in late February when he flashed home for fifth place in a better calibre of race. SELECTIONS:
