Noble Friend favourite for Linda´s Birthday Bumper "Newcomers" Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race
Noble Friend will be looking to start his career with a bang, by claiming the Linda´s Birthday Bumper "Newcomers" Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race at Worcester in England on Wednesday, October 24, 2012.
All of the runners appearing in today’s race are young and inexperienced, thus the competition will be an interesting one. They will have a lot of energy and will definitely entertain the spectators.
There will be a lot of stress on the newcomers, as they will have to cover an overall distance of 2 miles on a good to soft track. There are chances of rain before the start of action at 14:40, thus things could become a bit tricky at the end of the day.
Due to this, some of the trainers might opt to withdraw their challengers from the class-6 encounter, which has a cash prize of £1,437 for the winner. The reason is that there is a chance of sustaining an injury on a rain affected ground.
However, some of the runners will see this as an opportunity to make a name for themselves. They will have to be extremely careful and will need to apply a good technique in order to finish at the top of the table.
According to the bookies, the best chances of victory are with Noble Friend, as he appears to be in very good shape. He has been trained really well and will definitely be a force to reckon with in the end. His team will only be worried about the track conditions,
which might not suit him in the end.
However, only time will tell whether that will be the case or not. There are a lot of other things to consider and the punters will definitely risk more bets in favour of the Paul Nicholls’ trainee.
Noble Friend is the son of Presenting, who was one of the best in the business during the mid nineties. He represented his team on 10 occasions, winning six times whereas secured the third spot thrice. He only failed to deliver a strong result in one race,
which proved to be the last one of his career.
Ruby Walsh will be the one partnering the four-year-old stallion and he will be looking forward to steal the show in the end.
