Overview
- Dan Skelton’s A Pai De Nom is favoured for the 1.23 novice hurdle after a course-and-distance win and will carry a 6lb penalty.
- Graeme Rodway’s Tote Placepot perm spans 16 lines with A Pai De Nom as the banker, featuring Breaking Cover, King Of The Lake, J J Moon, Buckna or John W Creasy, and On The Bayou or Soldier Reeves in later legs.
- Public Enemy and The Hardest Geezer headline the 1.53 conditional jockeys’ handicap hurdle, with Public Enemy assessed as a major player despite a 6lb rise.
- King Of The Lake targets a fourth straight win in the 2.53 handicap hurdle following wind surgery, with J J Moon and Kayf Dancer among the dangers.
- Ice Max is tipped as a leading contender for the 2.47 Nottingham after a strong York speed figure and proven soft-ground form.
