4/11

Rounded off a highly successful novice hurdle campaign when winning a 2m5f Grade 1 contest at Cheltenham (good-to-soft) in March. Drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience too much and he is an exciting prospect as he embarks on a career over fences.

Forecasts

Willoughby Court (4/11), Casablanca Mix (5/1), The Unit (5/1), Toviere (25/1), Sussex Road (200/1)

Last seasons Cheltenham Festival winner WILLOUGHBY COURT can make a winning debut over fences for trainer Ben Pauling. The selection will appreciate the good ground forecast today and with the drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience too much he can see off another useful hurdler in The Unit who put in a clear round of jumping when runner-up on chasing debut last month. The ex-French-trained mare Casablanca Mix can step up on her chase debut effort at Worcester by claiming third today.
