Newcastle Race 3 - Weatherbys Nhstallions.co.uk 'The French Furze' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
SKYJACK HIJACK (1) continues to go from strength-to-strength over hurdles. Versatile in regard to both trip and ground which might not be enough to prevent him from making it six consecutive wins. ZANNDABAD (4) ran well to finish sixth in a handicap on the flat at the Curragh in September. Dangerous revisiting hurdles off this mark. EVALUATION (2) made a smooth start to hurdling racing at Ayr seventeen days ago and could go well up in grade. HOW ABOUT NO (5) also requires consideration.
