ROBIN GOODFELLOW – Greatest Bets
Dan Skelton, Willie Mullins and Paul Nicholls all have main contenders within the Scottish Champion Hurdle (Ayr, 2.25), however FAVOUR AND FORTUNE (NAP) can win this precious prize for Alan King.
The unexposed novice was second within the Grade One Formby Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree earlier this season earlier than catching the attention when ending sixth within the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle on the Cheltenham Competition.
The type of that race was boosted at Aintree by each Mystical Energy and Firefox, and a gap mark of 138 appears very reasonable.
Afterward the cardboard, GIT MAKER (NB) can go one higher than final day trip on the Cheltenham Competition when he strains up within the Scottish Grand Nationwide (3.35). Within the Kim Muir Handicap Chase, he completed an eight-length second behind subsequent Grade One winner Inothewayurthinkin, with the third an extra 18 lengths behind. A 1lb rise appears very lenient for that and he ought to maintain main claims.
