Newcastle: 3:25 Border Minstrel Pub Handicap Hurdle 2m7f149y
Getalead was beaten favourite in a better race than this at Taunton last month, but was far from disgraced. Indeed, that form has worked out well enough to suggest he should be of interest, off the same handicap mark, on his first attempt over this far. He has twice won over an extended 2 miles 5 furlongs, including at Ascot on his penultimate start, so an extra two furlongs or so should be within his compass. Selection: Getalead (9/2 with William Hill)Exeter: 2:40 Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap Hurdle 2m2f111y
Seventeen O Four is the obvious one, having opened his account over hurdles at the second time of asking at Chepstow over Christmas. Exactly what that form amounts to is anyone’s guess so, while he makes his handicap debut at a realistic level, preference on this occasion is for the more exposed Nickelsonthedime. Still a maiden under Rules, he ran as well as he ever has at Exeter last month and is professionally ridden for just the second time in his career. Selection: Nickelsonthedime (12/1 with William Hill)Southwell: 6:20 Betyourway At Betway Handicap 1m4f
Carausius took the step up this grade in his stride over course and distance last month and, even though he’s 6lb higher in the weights here, must take some stopping on his hat-trick attempt. However, while Andre Fabre castoff Bristol Ride hasn’t run since September, he won his maiden, on Viscoride, by 8 lengths last August and could represent some value on his British debut. Selection: Bristol Ride (8/1 with William Hill)Need a Paddy Power Sign-up Offer?
