Hexham Race 2 - Most Important 3-Year-Old Race Today Juvenile Hurdle (Gbb Race)
The season-opening juvenile hurdle in Britain can go the way of SUDBURY HILL (4). Represents the winning connections of last year and receiving a fair handicap on the flat could take to hurdling. Strong prospects. TINY RIOT (5) showed some potential when stepping up in journey last start over 2000m. From a top stable who is bound to have him well prepared. Main danger. Irish contender MOUNT EDEN (2) switched yards since being beaten 4L on previous flat outing which was a career best. No surprise to see him in the finish. On pedigree CRACKING ANNA (6) looks the next most likely to take to this new challenge. Keep an eye on the market.
