Habbie Simpson to own the track today at Fontwell in the PWW Ice Cream Supplies Novices´ Chase
The PWW Ice Cream Supplies Novices´ Chase will take place at Fontwell, today, on 3rd April, 2012. The race holds a purse of £2,599, and it will run over 2 miles and 6 furlongs.
Habbie Simpson, trained by Alan King, looks like the best contender, who will be competing against Mush Mir, Indian Daudaie, and The Clyda Rover.
The seven-year-old gelding acquired a placed position in Download Cheltenham App Free Today Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham on 13th April, 2011, where he entered as a favourite with the odds of 5 to 4. He finished third, and lost
the victory by an enormous margin of 12 ½ lengths to winner, Bold Addition.
The son of Elmaamul, out of mare Hamanaka, owned by Sandy Love, entered the last race of 2011 as a favourite with the odds of 5 to 4.
He finished as a runner-up in the Mirror Punters Club Beginners' Chase at Doncaster on 29th December, 2011, where he was paired up with jockey Wayne Hutchinson.
Under his guidance, he successfully tracked the leaders, but stumbled a few times. He had a clear run in the last two furlongs. It was a good effort on the seven-year-old gelding’s part as he finished ½ a length after winner, Prince Of Pirates.
His connections are hoping that he will maintain his composure today and score a victory under rider Robert Thornton.
The Nicky Henderson trained, Mush Mir, may be a thorn in Habbie Simpson’s way. He has delivered consistent performances and completed a hat-trick last season.
In his first start of the season, the son of Key Of Luck, out of Mawaheb, entered as a favourite with the odds of 15 to 8 in the Burts Hand Fried Potato Chips Novices' Chase at Exeter on 20th March, 2012.
Teamed with jockey, Jeremiah McGrath, he was the front-runner and led the race. He made a mistake and was soon overtaken by the competition. He finished 8 lengths after Darna, who won the race.
The speculation is that Habbie Simpson will win today. Based on his form and his past performances, he is expected to take the track by storm. Mush Mir will give him a tough time on the track and challenge his run for the victory. With seven victories
last season, he will not be defeated easily.
