Hereford

3.00 Colin’s Brother 100-30 Win

Is 2 wins from 2 races since returning to chases this season winning at Bangor over 2m 1f on soft ground and then at Ludlow over 2m on good to soft ground drops in class here and is 7lbs higher although has won over hurdles at a distance of 2m 3f on heavy ground so ticks all the right boxes.

Win Advised

3.30  Mountainous 8-1 Eachway

Last two wins have come in the Welsh National off 1lb lower has conditions to suit and jock claims 7lbs that should help horses chances and at 8-1 should at least get a place if showing anything near what it’s capable of .

Eachway Advised

4.30 Runasimi River 5-1 Win 

Unraced but well bred 4 yr old trained by  Neil Mulholland is closely related to winners over 2m 4f to 3m over hurdles and fences so if keeping the trend should be thereabouts but definitely one for the notebook regardless the results on debut.
