Kempton Park Race 1 - Virgin Bet Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
TIMETOSHINE (1) is a three-time winner on the flat. Opened her hurdling account in style with a decisive 8L triumph tackling the trip at Huntingdon last month. Nico de Boinville retains the ride and this Nicky Henderson-trained mare can follow-up. MISS ALTEA BLUE (4) improved first-up to justify favouritism and get off the mark with a comfortable 3L success in a similar race at Wincanton nine-days-ago. Danger. ANARIZA (2) reappeared from a long break to find the frame on hurdling debut at Wetherby. In the mix. NANCY P (6) was outclassed on hurdle debut in a Listed affair at Doncaster. Might do better among this company.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming finished 11th of 12 runners at Lingfield All Weather on January 18 over 2000m, 6 len behind Charlotte's Web with 58.5kg at $15. Last to post a big 8 len win. Huntingdon on February 20 over 3200m defeating Wotter Trotter with 70kg at $9.50 in a hurdle. Fitter now and making headway every start.

Having second run back today. Last outing favourite; won by 3.5 len Wincanton on March 6 over 3050m defeating Blacksamssenorita carrying 65.5kg at $1.80 in a hurdle. At only start last preparation finished fifth of 10 runners at Newbury in the LR on November 29 over 3300m, slow track; 21 len behind Opec with 70kg at $7. Big chance to go two-for-two this prep.

Second-up today. Fresh up after three months finished sixth of 11 runners at Hereford on February 12 over 3250m, 22 len behind Analiese with 70kg at $12. Previously second-up finished fifth of 14 starters at Carlisle on September 11 over 2200m, on slow going 10 len behind South Pole with 58kg at $4.50. Definite chance. Poses a major threat.

Resumes off a 49 day letup. Last start ran last in a small field at Doncaster in the LR on January 25 over 3330m, 29 len behind Belfrina carrying 70kg at $151. Start before raced on the pace prior to fading finished tenth of 11 runners at Lingfield All Weather on December 4 over 2400m, 31 len behind Upepo carrying 59.5kg at $26. Gets a chance to win. Likely to play a major role.
