Hereford Race 7 - Richard Layton Charity Evening 16Th April Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)
SEE ME SOON (9) is a well-regarded son of Nathaniel out of Whoops A Daisy on debut for the powerful Nicky Henderson stable. This half-brother to five winners is expected to make a bright start to his career. CRYSTAL JET (11) placed in a jumpers flat at Stratford and then Huntingdon. Returns after five months on the sidelines and with cheekpieces now adopted makes plenty of appeal first-up. PLAN DE STAN (8) caught the eye when a solid second in a similar contest at this venue in December. Watch for betting clues upon his return to action. Newcomer COBBLER'S LAD (5) is a gelding by Jack Hobbs from Upbeat Cobbler. Might feature.

Having second run back today. Not raced for 60 days. Last start came from midfield; finished fifth of 8 starters at Huntingdon on February 5 over 3200m, on slow going 7 len behind Wilde's Legacy carrying 71.5kg at $6. At only start last preparation finished seventh of 14 runners at this track on November 25 over 3200m, 11 len behind Smile John Boy carrying 71kg at $15. Rates among the hopes and is worth including in calculations.

This Order Of St George bred filly is now four-year-old and his having her first race start. Will be better for the outing and tempted to give her this.
