Fakenham Race 5 - Weatherbys Hamilton Handicap Hurdle
BUSY BEING BUSY (5) proved a runaway 13L winner over course and distance delivering most recent start. Holds an unblemished record here and can continue the strong streak of form. IP UP (4) was denied 2.25L contesting a 3200m hurdle at this venue on latest outing. Warrants consideration advancing markedly in journey. FOR PLEASURE (1) may improve up in trip from a 7L fifth attempting 3200m here. Claims. WATERGRANGE JACK (2) is interesting resuming from a five-month spell. Not discounted.

Useful type. Last run finished fifth of 7 runners at this track on March 14 over 3200m, 7 len behind Bluegrass with 74kg at $7. The start before that; finished third in a small field at Southwell All Weather on February 6 over 2800m, 1.0 len behind Annandale carrying 61kg at $8. Go close. Can bounce back.

Impressive in recent runs. Last run finished third of 7 starters at this track on March 14 over 3200m, 2.25 len behind Bluegrass carrying 72kg at $8.50. Before that ran last in a small field at Uttoxeter on January 25 over 3210m, 27 len behind Lime Drop with 70.5kg at $3.30. Continues to make headway. Sure to prove hard to beat.
