Bangor On Dee Race 1

Weatherbys Nhstallions.co.uk EBF Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Prize Money: $20,295

PLANTERS PUNCH (1) made the perfect start to his career scoring by 0.75L at Hereford during November. Given plenty of time to recover from that performance and could take beating. MOLLY'S LAD (5) remains a maiden after four starts. Disappointed on soft ground at Carlisle three weeks ago and needs to take a step forward though rates highly. CRACK OPS (2) secured a 0.5L victory at Ludlow in November attempting a jumpers flat. Was only a fair on hurdle debut at Catterick and one to watch for the future. MASTERFIELD (3) will need to show progress following initial hurdle outing on soft ground. Might be in the mix.

Last start finished third in a small field at Carlisle on March 8 over 3400m, on slow going 28 len behind Majordomo carrying 70kg at $19. Start before finished fifth of 7 runners at Carlisle on February 3 over 3400m, 18 len behind Irish Goodbye with 71kg at $8. This will test.

Was when unwanted in the market at debut, fell at Newbury on February 27 over 3300m. Look for improvement today. Worth another chance.

Racing well. Last outing finished second in a small field at Carlisle on March 8 over 3400m, on slow going 5 len behind Majordomo carrying 67.5kg at $1.60. Before that sat on speed throughout then finished third of 8 runners at Doncaster on February 5 over 3300m, 9 len behind Mustang Du Breuil with 67.5kg at $6. Continues to make headway. Ideally placed for a return to winning form.
