Warwick Race 3 - Oddschecker Free Bets Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 2)
KING AL (8) arrives bringing an abundance of potential. Finished second beaten 4.25L by a strong rival two starts back and improved to win by a neck latest outing. Capable of following up. LEO WOOD (5) was not without market support when finishing a fair fourth on debut for this stable last month at Ludlow. Warrants thought as entitled to improve for that. WONDERING WHY (1) managed to see off a field of eighteen at Lingfield winning by 5L when last seen. Must be in the mix again despite a penalty. ROAD TO WEMBLEY (7) raced to a decent level in staying handicaps on the flat. Might go close first up.
