BREWERS PROJECT (NAP) was too keen when odds-on for his hurdling debut at Chepstow but much better when again well supported at Wincanton and there is likely to be plenty more to come from Paul Nicholls’ charge. Sameer was a fair third here on his first taste of hurdling but African Dance disappointed at Catterick after landing a Sedgefield maiden. Fantastic Lady has been rerouted from yesterday’s abandoned card at Hereford and showed a lot of promise when fourth at Warwick. Jockey bookings suggests she’s preferred to Taunton runner-up Lilly Pedlar.
