Bangor On Dee Race 1 - Weatherbys Nhstallions.co.uk EBF Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (GBB Race)
PLANTERS PUNCH (1) made the perfect start to his career scoring by 0.75L at Hereford during November. Given plenty of time to recover from that performance and could take beating. MOLLY'S LAD (5) remains a maiden after four starts. Disappointed on soft ground at Carlisle three weeks ago and needs to take a step forward though rates highly. CRACK OPS (2) secured a 0.5L victory at Ludlow in November attempting a jumpers flat. Was only a fair on hurdle debut at Catterick and one to watch for the future. MASTERFIELD (3) will need to show progress following initial hurdle outing on soft ground. Might be in the mix.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Won at only race start from midfield and won by 0.8 len Hereford on November 3 over 3200m defeating Aqua Bleu with 70kg at $3.30 in a hurdle. Shapes up nicely.

Was when unwanted in the market at debut, fell at Newbury on February 27 over 3300m. Look for improvement today. Worth another chance.

Racing well. Last outing finished second in a small field at Carlisle on March 8 over 3400m, on slow going 5 len behind Majordomo carrying 67.5kg at $1.60. Before that sat on speed throughout then finished third of 8 runners at Doncaster on February 5 over 3300m, 9 len behind Mustang Du Breuil with 67.5kg at $6. Continues to make headway. Ideally placed for a return to winning form.

Freshened for 54 days. Last start pulled up at Doncaster on February 5 over 3300m. The run before finished third in a small field at Haydock Park on December 30 over 3100m, 9 len behind Diamond Jim carrying 70kg at $10. Others read better. Not likely to threaten in this field.
