Howard’s Legacy to land a majestic victory in the Banner Marquees "National Hunt" Novices´ Hurdle
On 13th May, 2012, Howard’s Legacy, Conn Man, Direct Approach, Duke Of Monmouth, Royal Villan and Spanish Optimist will compete in the Class 4 Banner Marquees "National Hunt" Novices´ Hurdle at Uttoxeter for the purse of £2,599
over 3 miles.
The other runners should be worried about Howard’s Legacy in this race, as he will bring everything he has to the table.
The son of Generous, out of mare, Ismene, finished as a runner-up in the second start of his career, a performance which showed that there is definitely room for more improvement.
The bay gelding missed the victory by 2 ¾ lengths to, Destroyer Deployed, in the Ladbrokescasino.com Intermediate Open National Hunt Flat Race at Towcester in February, 2011.
The trainee of Venetia Williams is the best possible contender for this race, as he raced at this track before and finished a respectable fourth.
He finished 11 lengths after the victor, Ambion Wood, in the Bet Totepool At Totesport.com Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race (Div I) on 19th March, 2011.
The six-year-old gelding recently triumphed in the Hay-On-Wye Booksellers Maiden Hurdle at Hereford on 4th April, 2012, which has given his connections the confidence that he can do it again.
Teamed with rider, Aidan Coleman, the duo emerged successful in the end as they defeated race favourite, Barton Stacey, by 5 lengths.
Duke Of Monmouth, trained by Charlie Mann, for owners, Bryan and Philippa Burrough, delivered a solid performance in his seasonal debut by finishing second.
Under jockey, Dave Crosse, the son of Presenting, out of Hayley Cometh, performed well, but still fell short by 2 ¾ lengths to the winner, Seven Woods, in the I.W.E.C. Electrical Maiden Hurdle at Ffos Las on 23rd April, 2012.
He may stand in the way of Howard’s Legacy, but not enough to threaten him.
Howard’s Legacy’s experience at the track has raised his appeal for this race and with a recent victory; he is definitely the one to look out for.
With him being in the best possible form, he is likely to perform an encore of his most recent race.
