Spirit Of Shankly eying success in William Hill - No.1 Downloaded Betting App Novices´ Hurdle
Spirit Of Shankly will be looking to make a strong impression in the William Hill - No.1 Downloaded Betting App Novices´ Hurdle at Kempton in England on Wednesday, December 26, 2012.
He has never succeeded in this format before, but that will not make a big difference, as all of his opponents are in a similar position. Therefore, the pressure on each stallion will be equal and the class-2 encounter will definitely end up being an interesting
one.
A total of 11 runners have lined up for action in the 2 mile long race, which is scheduled to kick off at 12:50 GMT. They will have to display some excellent skills, as the going has become heavy because of the overnight rain.
Such conditions demand an extra effort from the contestants, so things will not be easy for anyone of them. Some of the participants might opt to pull out of the competition, as there is a chance of sustaining an injury on a wet ground.
The one who battles his way to the top of the table will be awarded a cash prize of £9,697 in the end.
According to the bookmakers, the best chances of victory are with River Maigue, despite the fact that he does not have a lot of experience. He has appeared in a couple of rain affected races though, which will help him get the attention of the punters.
The young challenger from Ireland has been given a general starting price of 6 to 5, suggesting that he will end up dominating the rest of the pack.
However, things will not be easy for him and he will have to earn his way to the top at Kempton. He has appeared in just one race over hurdles until now, which proved to be a good one for him.
The Nicky Henderson’s trainee managed to secure the runner up spot in that event, so he will be confident of another solid run today.
There will be some pressure on him from the likes of Spirit Of Shankly, who has not been given pretty high odds for a victory.
Despite that, the Charlie Longsdon’s trained gelding cannot be ruled out of the contest and he will definitely be the one to watch out for at Kempton. He will be given company by seasoned jockey, Noel Fehily.
