Meridiem expected to thrive at Towcester – Handicap Hurdle Preview
Out of the 11 runners, who are going to participate in the Ladbrokescasino.Com Handicap Hurdle at Towcester racecourse on Monday, March 26, Meridiem seems to be in the most favourable position to notch up top spot in the race.
The high-value Class 5 contest of 2m distance will commence at 2:30 (GMT). For the big prize money worth £1,689, the Sean Regan-trained bay gelding is set to compete against Mossmann Gorge, Decent Lord, Definite Lady, Spare Me, Little Bob, Sablazo, Carbon
Print, Fletch And Lenny, Youm Jamil and Prize Fighter.
Meridiem possesses an excellent track record. Since making his debut in June 2009, he has won two out of his total 14 starts to date.
After bagging hi maiden victory in March 2011, the dashing horse moved forward to earn two runner-up ranks in a row during April-May.
The young and energetic sprinter accomplished the second triumph of his career in May 2011. In his last start on March 4, 2012, the talented gelding clinched 9th spot.
Much to his advantage is the fact that Meridiem has achieved both the victories of his career at the same venue where he is going to demonstrate his excellent racing skills today.
If the brilliant horse manages to maintain his momentum and capitalise well on the ground condition, he can have more than 90 percent chances to finish first in the race.
Among the hot favourite horse’s competitors, Decent Lord and Mossmann Gorge are also likely to perform confidently.
Decent Lord accomplished a fabulous hat-trick during February 2011. These were the first and last three wins of the bay gelding’s career. The trainee of Jennie Candlish elegantly grabbed third top spot in his second last outing on February 21, 2012.
On the other hand Mossmann Gorge convincingly clinched a runner-up rank in his last start at Towcester on April 12, 2011. Anthony Middleton’s bay gelding has been out-of-action since that time. Overall, the veteran runner has won 5 out of his total 68 starts
to date.
Despite the presence of these two horses, Meridiem will definitely be able to win the race comfortably. Let us see the favourite runner’s struggle for success. Good luck to him.
