Winner of two of his last three, and highly tried in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival in between. Faces a simple task at the weights here and ought to make it four from five for the yard in this race in the past five years.

7/2
Has run respectably in novice hurdles without ever threatening to win one, but didn't do much better when sent handicapping at Taunton last time, although may have found the trip (3m) too far. Plenty on at these weights today.

Forecasts

Dreamcatching (2/11), Stealing Mix (7/2)

Verdict

Sadly, a few small fields at Wincanton this afternoon, starting off with this match in which DREAMCATCHING, despite shouldering a penalty, looks to have a simple enough task to beat Stealing Mix. The Paul Nicholls yard seems to farm this race and look set to continue that trend today.
  1. Dreamcatching
  2. Stealing Mix
