Huntingdon Race 3 - Bet Smarter With Oddschecker+ Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
ETERNAL ANGEL (1) resumes for a new trainer after finishing fifth tackling 4425m at Downpatrick and this looks a suitable starting point. She has enough ability to make a bright return. SWORD OF WESSEX (3) switches to hurdles after a fair Leicester fourth on the flat attempting 2400m beaten 3L and should be competitive if taking to the discipline. Represents the main danger. PALMA SPRINGS (5) returns after 159 days away having shown promise when fourth contesting 3200m at Ludlow and remains open to improvement. Makes appeal. LAND OF DREAMS (2) shaped fairly in two flat runs at Worcester and can play a role on jumps debut. Not discounted.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with finished fourth of 7 runners at Worcester on August 31 over 3200m, 13 len behind Chicker with 68kg at $41 and before that finished seventh of 10 starters at Worcester on July 24 over 3200m, 29 len behind Uncle Remus carrying 69kg at $34. Definite threat.
