made most, left clear 13th, driven approaching 2 out, headed last, no impression
tracked leader, mistake 4th, lost 2nd at 7th, ridden next, lost touch from 10th
always chasing clear front trio
Tabora, Inch Pride and Lago d'Oro are the three to consider here with Tabora given the nod to supplement a Wetherby success. Inch Pride was well beaten in a good class handicap hurdle last time but had earlier won nicely over fences at Huntingdon. he is sure to be in the shake up and can go close. Lago d'Oro landed a novice hurdle at Market Rasen eighteen months ago but is yet to register a success over the bigger obstacles though he has been highly tried recently. If there are mishaps for the market leaders he can take advantage. Henry Daly's Tabora was made favourite to score first time out over hurdles and duly did so, before falling when delivering a challenge next time. She landed the odds recently and now tackles fences for the first time. Henry Daly is sure to have schooled her well and she looks potentially exciting. She receives weight because of the age and mares' allowance and Tabora can score here.
