Fontwell Park Race 3 - Star Sports National Spirit Hurdle (Grade 2) (Gbb Race)

The biggest race of the year at Fontwell looks an intriguing renewal. NEMEAN LION (2) bids for a hat-trick after a 0.5L success beating SALVER (3) in a 4000m hurdle at the Winter Million Weekend at Windsor last month and with winning form in this grade rates a leading player while the latter mentioned represents a yard maintaining a strong record at this circuit and placed third in the G1 Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last year to be the main danger once more. BLUEKING D'OROUX (1) is proven in the grade and been running well this season. Produced a decent third behind the top two selections at Windsor. Set to go well. STEEL ALLY (5) handles deep ground. Won a nice prize at Haydock two starts ago. Next best.

Useful gelding. Comes off a 37 day let-up. Last run finished third in a small field at Windsor on January 17 over 4000m, on slow going 5 len behind Nemean Lion carrying 73.5kg at $4.50. Run before raced on the pace prior to fading finished sixth of 10 starters at Ascot in the G1 Long Walk Hurdle on December 21 over 4900m, 4 len behind Crambo with 73kg at $13. Sure to improve again. In the mix again.
