The Weekend Winners return forward of one other busy weekend of horseracing, with alternatives nominated for Kempton and Newcastle.
Kate Tracey, Sam Boswell and Declan Rix return in the hunt for winners throughout this weekend’s racing from Kempton and Newcastle. The group additionally stay up for the Cheltenham Pageant, with an ante-post angle apiece nominated.
On the most recent episode of Weekend Winners, the trio check out the Ladbrokes Trophy Handicap Chase, ran over three miles at Kempton at 3.35pm.
Kate Tracey
“I am questioning what Hyland goes to do tactics-wise, as a result of we all know he stays all day. He is my choice in right here however he’s a horse who likes to be ridden pretty prominently. He has been exhibiting these further bits of stamina and he is one other for the developments, though he has been ridden solely over 3m in his 3 begins this season (profitable the primary two at Cheltenham).
“He is confirmed himself to be simply as adept over this course and distance within the G1 Kauto Star Novices, the place he wasn’t disgraced in any respect. He is a significantly better chaser than a hurdler already, he is confirmed to remain all day and over this journey, off this mark, he can keep in rivalry for lengthy sufficient to show his class.”
Sam Boswell
“I fully agree with Kate on Hyland. I am an enormous fan of this horse and also you all the time affiliate Nicky Henderson with winners at Kempton however dig a bit deeper and he is managed to select up fairly just a few of those handicap-type races – he is +18 to a £1 stake should you backed him blind, a 25 per cent strike price. Will probably be races like this that he takes out often that enhance this, fairly than Structure Hill profitable at 1/5.
“There is a barely disappointing turnout on this race, so it is onerous to oppose him. I am undecided Lowry’s Bar will run if it is as dry as prompt, so I got here down on the favorite. I do know The Jukebox Man dispatched him simply sufficient however he is a horse I’ve big regard for however getting even close to him is sufficient to recommend {that a} mark of 147 is workable within the context of this race.”
Declan Rix
“It is a race that has little bit of tempo on. I actually like Hyland and Lowry’s Bar as horses and people however they are not the most important to be carrying high weight and near-top weight. They are not overly huge though they largely bounce nicely and good floor will assist them. I am undecided the handicapper has missed them both. They are not as nicely handicapped as one other novice within the race, and that is Beachcomber for the Jonjo and AJ O’Neill group.
“He bolted up right here over Christmas in first-time blinkers over this course and distance and he simply regarded a very completely different horse [to the start of the season]. His leaping has obtained an terrible lot higher and he is overpriced in comparison with the entrance two out there though there are worries. He did make the working final outing at Kempton when he gained, and there is fairly a little bit of tempo on right here. I might be shocked if he will get a straightforward lead once more and clearly he gained in first time blinkers in order that they’ll need to sharpen him up once more.
