Leopard Hills is having a lot of momentum that he will use well to clinch top spot in the Richards Events Security And Cleaning Services Conditional Jockeys’ Selling Hurdle at Hereford racecourse on Tuesday, May 15. The high-stakes Class 5 contest will commence
at 2:50 (GMT).
On the track of 2 miles and 4 furlongs, the Alison Thorpe-trained bay gelding will face half a dozen rivals such as Desperate Times, Highkingofmunster, Nicky Nutjob, Stafford Charlie, Cuban Piece and Van Doesburg. The winner will be awarded a cash prize
worth £1,689.
Leopard Hills possesses a decent track record. Out of his total 21 starts, the five-year-old veteran horse has won 4 so far. His last victory came on May 17, 2011.
The talented son of Acclamation out of Sadler’s Park finished 7th against 11 competitors in a big race at Taunton on January 31, 2012. He moved on to grab 4th spot in his last start on April 4.

Among the other runners, Cuban Piece and Nicky Nutjob are likely to do well today.

to be confident enough at the moment.
