Lingfield Race 4 - Free Race Replays On Attheraces.com Ebf 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
The exciting MASKED MAN (1) arrives with a promising profile gaining an impressive 12L rules debut success at Chepstow in a 3200m novices hurdle before a strong 1.75L second attempting the 3200m G2 Newton Novices Hurdle at Haydock three weeks ago. Down sharply in grade and looks hard to beat. LAURIER DES OBEAUX (6) indicated promise on seasonal return producing a 4.25L third in a course and distance novices hurdle a month ago. Open to plenty of further improvement. Makes appeal. HELLO FORTUNE (4) won a 4800m Irish point-to-point during October. Represents a local stable and warrants a market check. COULD BE YOU (3) showed promise in point-to-points. Interesting.
