2:45 G2 Unibet Persian War Novices’ Hurdle

First Street (Nico de Boinville)

He’s been extremely progressive and has really improved since jumping a hurdle, and as soon as he won at Warwick last time, this race immediately sprung to my mind. The ground is currently Good and I hope it stays that way because I wouldn’t want it to dry up too quickly and I was very impressed with him last time. Everything is right for him and this is a great pot to have a crack at.

3:20 4-y-o H’cap Hurdle

Progressive (Nico de Boinville)

She ran quite well on the flat the other day which should have sharpened her up nicely for this so she should definitely strip fitter here.  This is a competitive race, and whether she’s up to this standard I’m not sure, but I’ve been happy with her at home and she receives a little bit of weight so should hopefully run a nice race.
