Top Of The Range keen to top Novices’ Hurdle
Top Of The Range is expected to deliver an outstanding performance at Kempton racecourse in a bid to clinch top spot in Flag-Soprema Waterproofing Classic Novices’ Hurdle, a Class 4 contest that is going to take place today, April 17.
The high-stakes race over a distance of 2 mile and 5 furlongs will start at 3:20 (GMT). For the prize money of £2,599, Top Of The Range is geared up to confidently compete against 14 rivals including Fighting Flynn, Ruling Party, Quotica De Poyans, The Last
Night, Back At The Ranch, Ballypatrick, Little Chip, Head Spin, Mr Pyramus, Good Old Paul, Hurricane Henry, Saxon House, Budsson and Opera Prince.
The champion trainer Nicky Henderson’s talented brown gelding has been delivering eye-catching performances since the very beginning of his career.
After making his debut on April 25, 2011, the five-year-old brilliant horse elegantly finished first each in his first two outings. He moved forward to grab 4th spot in the third race on December 31.
The maverick runner stood third in his last start on February 24, 2012. These four races have beautifully established the novice runner as a favourite prospect in the betting market. Now, most of the punters are confidently relying on him for the Novices’
Hurdle.
Top Of The Range looks to be determined enough to make a big impact in today’s marathon. The favourite horse’s chances to finish first are as high as 90 percent.
None of the gelding’s competitors can give him tough time on the track but Little Chip and Head Spin are likely to perform well.
Little Chip has been winless so far since making his debut in October 2011. Charlie Longsdon’s bay gelding has attained one runner-up rank and a couple of thirds in his career.
On the other hand, Head Spin nicely notched up third spot in his maiden outing on January 14, 2012. The trainee of Seamus Mullins went ahead to finish 4th in the second and last race of his career on March 7. He is also looking to break his maiden.
Come what may, Top Of The Range will definitely be able to make his way towards victory convincingly. Let us enjoy the amazing game. Good luck to all the runners.
