Plenty Pocket likely to take victory in Bhest Racing To School Novices´ Hurdle
Plenty Pocket is likely to prevail in the Bhest Racing To School Novices´ Hurdle at Hereford in England on Tuesday, March 27, 2012. The winning horse will bag a cash prize of £3,249 in the end.
The going will be good in the 2 mile 1 furlong race, which is scheduled to start at 2:10 GMT. There were nine runners initially listed for the event, but David Bridgwater’s trainee, Engai, will not be seen in action because of a setback.
There will still be plenty of action for the spectators and the eight entries confirmed are: Plenty Pocket, Tuscan Gold, Archie Rice, Constant Contact, Silicium, Honey Of A Kitten, Out Of Nothing and Umoristic.
Out of these runners, Plenty Pocket has the best chances of winning, as he has a very good record in races over hurdles. He has entered four of such events, winning one of them. In addition to that, he has also secured a third place once, which suggests
that he has the potential to fight for top positions.
The five-year-old gelding got off to a terrific start in his career, as he won his maiden race. However, his performances have not been consistent since then, which might discourage the punters from placing bets on him.
Paul Nicholls’ trainee has been producing some mixed results over the past few months. His most recent outing saw him finish fifth, despite that fact that he was being ridden by one of the best jockeys in the business, Ruby Walsh.
Daryl Jacob will be the one partnering Plenty Pocket in today’s race. The seasoned jockey is nearing a century of victories over hurdles, but he does not have a good strike rate, which might work against him in the end.
Alan King’s trainee, Tuscan Gold has also won pretty decent odds for winning the race at Hereford. However, his recent form indicates that he will struggle to match the speed of the rest.
The five-year-old gelding has participated in a couple of hurdles until now, winning none. He finished 10th in his most recent outing, which suggests that he lacks rhythm. However, the bettors might favour him because of veteran jockey, Robert
Thornton, who will be his partner today.
Archie Rice, Constant Contact and Silicium are the other three runners, who are capable of winning the race at Hereford today.
