Hereford Race 1 - Betwright Bet The Wright Way Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
SOOMAROY (8) was a good winner of his point to point and then ran a respectable race at Ascot last month. Well supported on that occasion and his trainer finds a good opportunity. Could make amends for that defeat. PIONEER PETE (7) produced a fine effort when second at Exeter last month behind an impressive winner. Looks to have a bright future. ROCK SENSATION (12) ran with considerable credit in a listed jumpers flat at Cheltenham three weeks ago and now goes hurdling tackling a decent contest. One to note. LYRICAL CHOICE (11) is still a maiden. Delivered two fine efforts in jumpers flat races and could be in the mix.

Jumped at big odds at debut, pulled up at Fontwell Park on October 26 over 3560m. Looks tested this line-up. Better for the experience but prefer to see again.

Is second-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start settled back and ran on when finished sixth of 8 runners at Wincanton on November 8 over 3000m, 16 len behind No Way Jay with 71kg at $5.50. Worth plenty of thought on his jumps debut.

Useful gelding. Last start finished seventh of 13 runners at Cheltenham in the LR on November 16 over 3300m, slow track; 10 len behind Saint Clovis carrying 71kg at $21. Run to post a big 6 len win. Roscommon on September 29 over 3118m defeating Minnatrix carrying 73kg at $13 in a flat. Best to forgive the last run and go on the good win two back.

Racing second-up. Showed plenty of promise winning at debut as favourite; won by 4 len Ballyragget P2p on March 16 over 4828m defeating Vango Can Go carrying 60kg in a jumps. Returned from break made ground from midfield; finished second in a small field at Ascot on November 1 over 3100m, 1.5 len behind Military Alliance carrying 70kg at $1.40. Can improve on first up performance. Ideally placed to take this out.
