Warwick 2:05 betting tip: Nube Negra can return to successful ways
Skelton’s novice chaser Nube Negra suffered his first loss over fences final time in the Grade One Henry VIII Novices’ Chase however he can prevail as quickly as again within the Agetur UK Kingmaker Novices’ Chase.
The six-year-old certainly not dented his reputation in that defeat at Sandown. He finished 1¾L behind Esprit Du Large in a wise performance. There is every likelihood he will be successful at that level in the close to future.
For now, though, this Grade Two contest over a profitable C&D represents a a lot easier assignment for the novice.
The gelding was soon elevated to Graded action following two spectacular displays over fences earlier in the season. He scored by 3L over this C&D on his chase debut after which prevailed by 10L in a novice chase at Fakenham.
Skelton’s runner is the highest rated horse on this race and stays open to enchancment which makes him the one they all have to beat.
Newbury 1:50 tip: One For The Team has first win in sights
With three consistent performances over hurdles this season, One For The Team has done little or no incorrect. Unfortunately for his connections though, he has but to report that first hurdles win. That wait may end within the Betfair Bet In-Play Handicap Hurdle (Newbury 1:50).
Williams’ runner completed second on his debut at Worcester and then over this C&D. He was solely ¾L away on the latter in an 18-runner area on the Somerset-based racecourse.
One For The Team’s newest outing got here in a Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle qualifier final month at Warwick. He once again hit the frame, ending third of 14.
The six-year-old has gone up 2lb for his most up-to-date effort but the good news right here is that the very succesful Chester Williams will take 5lb off his again. That is going to show helpful so this is a incredible alternative for him to get off the mark over hurdles.
Uttoxeter 2:32 tips: Echo could make some noise at Uttoxeter
Echo Watt made a promising debut over fences final time at Lingfield, finishing second of nine runners on that first try. He can go one place higher in the Excloosive Event Hire Handicap Chase (Uttoxeter 2:32).
That opening chase appearance came over 2m4f. He made a few errors over his fences however that’s all the means down to inexperience which he can hopefully iron out right here. His possibilities of success were not helped when he was bumped on the final obstacle either.
His trainer Richard Hobson is stepping his runner up in trip on this newest outing. That should take the pressure off his jumping. He has gone up 4lb within the weight but when he can defy that rise by improving sufficient to nonetheless be off a winnable mark.
The six-year-old is the youngest horse on this race however is also the least uncovered. He looks a good guess to land this 3m handicap chase.
