Nice Horse looks to have been found another good opportunity by the Pipe team and is taken to score from Seafield Bogie, with cursory nods given to both Hatton House and Star Fever. The selection won for the first time since a debut bumper success when taking a 2m 3f maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot the other day and did the job well. With the Pipe yard back in form and A P McCoy again booked, he looks capable of backing up that win over this slightly longer trip, with the going in his favour. Seafield Bogie is a pointing winner who has not covered himself in glory under rules thus far, but who has been the subject of decent reports from the Tom George yard and could now go well. Hatton House and Star Fever both come from yards who merit respect, with the former having achieved most on the track so far in a Bangor bumper, while the latter coming from connections who have a very good record at the track. Watch them both in the market, but they will need to be decent to beat our selection, Nice Horse.
