MAIN ENTRANCE

FIRST RACE 12.25 TWO MILES ABOUT THREE AND A HALF FURLONGS (2M 3F 100YDS) FOR MAIDEN FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE VICKERS.BET MAIDEN HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) (DIV I) (GBB RACE) Total prize fund £8000 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3338, 2nd £1670, 3rd £834, 4th £418. (Penalty Value £4356.80) 8 Balloted Out Under Rules (I)9 and (I)10.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (18-23): P Nicholls (59 wins from 232 runners, 25%) runs ONETHREEFIVENOTOUT TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): P Nicholls (10 wins from 32 runners, 31%) runs ONETHREEFIVENOTOUT FANCY THAT: A King won this race in 2016 and 2018. The stable runs MASACCIO today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: SALADINS SON trained by C Gordon, Winchester, 87 miles. RACE SUMMARY

HOE JOLY SMOKE lost his action when last seen in a Kelso Grade 2 but he’d made a fine start over hurdles here prior to that, finishing runner-up in a division of this first time up, and he’s worth chancing in the hope all is well. Masaccio, Onethreefivenotout and Alcedo are among a host of good jumps prospects in opposition and the betting should be revealing. 1-2-3: 1.HOE JOLY SMOKE 2.MASACCIO (IRE) 3.ONETHREEFIVENOTOUT (IRE) KEY colours

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ECLAIR DE GUYE trained by L Wadham, Newmarket, 195 miles. RACE SUMMARY

There should be more to come from unexposed 6-y-o CONCETTO, who made a promising start over fences last season and the marathon trip was probably his undoing when only seventh in the Highland National when last seen in April. Minella Bobo needs to bounce back in a major way, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and will be a danger to all if able to get back on track. A clean round of jumping should see In Rem involved and Planned Paradise also makes the shortlist.

TIMEFORM VIEWBig improver in handicap hurdles last season and further progress switched to fences, scoring at Exeter on New Year’s Day.

An interesting race by class 5 standards and it could be worth siding with JUST OVER LAND. Disappointing on handicap debut here in the spring, he had proved steadily progressive in novice/maiden hurdles previously and it’s highly likely there’s more to come from this low-mileage 4-y-o.

He is taken to make a winning debut in this sphere off what may turn out to be a handy opening mark.
