Ascot Hurdle Tips
Just 6 runners declared, GOSHEN has been installed as favourite but at just 4 years old may have a bit to find with the more experienced types. The mare LAURINA is very interesting on her first run since joining Paul Nicholls from the Willie Mullins yard. Nicky Henderson's CALL ME LORD makes up the shortlist.
Keith' tip on raceday
LAURINA 14:40 Ascot 6/4 – Another disappointing turn out with just 3 runners declared. The mare LAURINA is very interesting on her first run since joining Paul Nicholls from the Willie Mullins yard. Nicky Henderson's CALL ME LORD should be the one for the forecast.
How did we do?
LAURINA never really settled into a rhythm and she weakened away around about 2 from home finishing a distant 3rd. The winner was the outider of the 3 runners SONG FOR SOMEONE who made all and stayed on strongly.
