Hereford Race 2 - Safer Gambling At CopyBet Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
MACHETE BEACH (4) hasn't been seen for almost a year after finishing third making hurdle and stable debut at Plumpton. Given plenty of time since that performance and could be capable of taking a big step forward. WHATCOMBE (8) remains a maiden on the flat and over hurdles. Looks more of a long term project for this current stable and best watched with a view to the future. THE CRAFTYMASTER (6) has scored nine times on the flat and belatedly goes hurdling. Stable don't have many jumpers. Respect. NOBLE DON (5) missed a number of assignments in recent times and will be aiming toward a clear round for confidence.

Struggling for best and happy to watch again here.
