Huntingdon Race 4 - Annual Badges On Sale Now Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
SIXMILEBRIDGE (3) finished second on hurdling debut before a 14L Leicester (4124m) triumph. Promising with another bold display anticipated. SILVER THORN (2) looked useful winning a Stratford maiden hurdle in October. Only fifth at Newbury subsequently and winner of that is hugely exciting. Retains potential. Declared for Southwell on Wednesday. LAND AFAR (1) is lightly-raced for a horse of his age. Clearly possesses ability. Won a claiming hurdle at Ludlow (3218m) by 4L in latest. Not to be underestimated. WESTERN HARMONY (5) appeared held unseating on hurdling debut. Will have more to do.

Racing second-up today. Not raced for 45 days. Returned from a spell and unseated the rider in a maiden hurdle at Leicester. At only start last preparation finished fourth of 10 runners at Market Rasen 4-6yo HUNT FLAT (C5) on April 10 over 3300m, 9 len behind Woodland Park with 67.5kg at $5. Rates strongly and don't underestimate.
