Captain Conan to strike victory in Totepool Premier Kelso Hurdle on Saturday
Captain Conan is looking good to swallow a tasteful success in the Grade 2 Totepool Premier Kelso Hurdle, to be hosted by Kelso on Saturday, March 3, 2012.
This weekend brings a lot of excitement, but this 2-mile 2-furlong event will be the centre of attention.
The officials will kick off the show at 15:35 (GMT). Six high profile contenders will pursue a cash prize of £17,085. Among the entries are:
Captain Conan
Bury Parade
Tap Night
Into Wain
Ubaltique
Lucia Bay
One can hope for a thrilling performance by Captain Conan. The five-year-old failed to maintain his high standard in the previous race, finishing sixth in the list on February 12. However, nobody can forget his fantastic victory at the start of this year.
After staying out of action for almost six months, Captain Conan made his comeback on January 7. Nicky Henderson’s gelding resumed his journey outstandingly, sealing a close victory over Colour Squadron in the Grade 1 32Red Hurdle at Sandown.
His fabulous performance is still in the minds of the bookies, who are rating him highly for today’s meeting.
If someone is not interested in Captain Canon, Bury Parade and Tap Night are the best options to bet on. The former of the two is stepping into this battle after a couple of back to back wins.
Today’s meeting will be his first this year, but that does not take anything away from him. So far in his short career, the six-year-old has registered two hurdle victories.
Likewise, Tap Night has two consecutive wins under his belt. The five-year-old made his last trip on the first of February, when he defeated Falcun by staggering 12 lengths.
Into Wain is also progressing nicely, as he recently completed his hat-trick. Similarly, Ubaltique and Lucia Bay cannot be taken lightly, as both contenders are recent winners.
Conclusion
Captain Canon cannot be written off despite an ordinary effort last time around. Bury Parade will look to maintain his unbeaten record, while Into Wain and Tap Night are also determined to do something special.
With such an in-form and talented line-up, it will be a tough decision for the punters. No matter who wins, it will be a rip-roaring event.
