Warwick Race 2 - JCB Mini-Excavator Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle
JUNIOR DES MOTTES (1) produced two solid efforts in succession where again ran with credit when second at Fontwell over 4300m beaten 2L. Previous Catterick placing also reads well and he could be in the thick of things late. GETAWAY SAM (6) failed to fire in recent outings at Hereford and Ludlow but earlier form was stronger than those bare figures suggest. Capable of sharp improvement and cannot be dismissed lightly. SILVER GALE (2) has missed the frame providing both latest appearances yet this company looks within reach and a better showing would not surprise. FFREE PEDRO (5) pulled up most recently at Hereford after returning from a break. Open to progress now fitter and worth giving another look.
