Here we figure out three horses who are in favourable positions to perform well in today’s competition.
Snow Blizzard
Rebecca Curtis’ black gelding hiked his confidence greatly by winning two consecutive races during August 2011. He went on to finish fourth in his last outing on September 7, 2011.
The Davies & Price-owned runner started his career with a fabulous victory in April 2010. He has been an above average performer since the very beginning. His total earning to date is £18,055.
In today’s competition, the five-year-old gelding is supposed to show a big run. He will potentially fight for the top spot. His chances to win are as high as 85 percent.
Big Easy
The champion trainer Philip Hobbs’ black gelding won the first two races of his career in a row during April-May 2010. He went on to achieve his third victory in April 2011.
Being a 3-1 favourite, the Terry Warner-owned runner notched up top spot in his last outing on January 28, 2012. As a whole, he has won 4 out of his total 9 races so far.
Thus, the talented gelding seems to be packed with form. It will not be wrong to regard him as the hot favourite for today’s race. He has 90 percent chances to thrive.
Sweet Irony
Starting his career in November 2009, Alan King’s young gelding accomplished the first and last two triumphs of his career in a row during March-April 2011.
The S M Smith-owned runner ran as 3-1 favourite in his last outing on February 10, 2012 and finished third.
Overall, he has run for 11 times so far. He is expected to do well at Bangor-on-dee, having 80 percent chances to stand first.
Conclusion
Along with the above trio, some of the other runners also possess enough potential and talent. Thus, today’s race is going to be a rip-roaring competition. However, Big Easy has the highest chances to finish first.
