Happy Birthday Charlie Griffiths & Nick Russell Handicap Hurdle is one of the most important contests, to be held at Plumpton on Monday, February 27, 2012. According to the plan, the show will get underway at 15:15 (GMT).
The going is good to soft and 14 speedy contenders are geared up to unleash their talent. The competition will be across a 3m1f110y long track. The ultimate champion will be given a purse worth of £1,916.
Velator is the only contestant who is stepping into this clash after a victory. After showing three back to back poor performances, the five-year-old made a strong return earlier this month.
On February 21, he sealed an emphatic win in the Bathwick Tyres Bridgwater Handicap Hurdle at Taunton.
The exciting gelding beat Kowloon by two and a quarter lengths to clinch the top slot. Anthony Honeyball’s horse is coming into the race after a comprehensive triumph and thus, his chances cannot be overlooked.
Dakota Boy might give him some tough time on the racecourse. The 10-year-old emerged as runner-up in his previous outing at Southwell.
In the Free Trial At betangel.com Handicap Hurdle, the veteran was outplayed by Changing Lanes. However, it was a reasonable performance by the Alex Hales–trained who will look to improve his work in order to get a better result this time around.
Another participant who can spring up a surprise is Chicharito. The five-year-old also performed well in her last race at Plumpton. On December 19, the spectators saw her sealing second place in the Follow Us On Twitter @starsportsbet_bet
Handicap Hurdle.
Although Neil Mulholland’s mare is running after a decent break, that does not take anything away from her.
Rocky Ryan will also be the centre of attention. The nine-year-old, who will be ridden by A. P. McCoy, is making his comeback after almost three years. His fans are expecting him to resume his journey with a huge bang.
Final Prediction
Nobody is looking in solid position to challenge Velator. Steve & Jackie Fleetham’s owned gelding is likely to dominate the show all the way through.
Dakota Boy and Rocky Ryan might come up with an upset but their chances to outperform Velator are bleak.
