Worcester Race 6 - Fbc Manby Bowdler Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 2)
TARANIS DUBH (6) wears a tongue strap for the first time and after a quiet start for this yard at Newton Abbot he stepped forward to finish second hurdling at Warwick in May. Should hold every chance on this first outing of the season. SHEEZER DANCER (11) brings some fair form in defeat and looks set to do better this season. Hard to fault in a maiden hurdle. KING'S AFFINITY (3) is a two-time winner tackling UK point to points. Joins Harry Derham for his rules career and rates a major player. EUSTACE GRENIER (1) looked to have a fair amount of ability last prep and is worth giving another chance.
