Sericina was very impressive in winning the Hunter Chase at Ffos Las. She will improve for the stiffer test and the extra couple of furlongs at Cheltenham and I expect a BIG run. The best price for the Foxhunters is now 16/1 and so those who got the 20's have stolen a bit!
Peddlars Cross was fairly impressive and I wouldn't be concerned that Jason Maguire gave him a couple of reminders up the straight. Given that this was a prep against lesser horses and according to his trainer he wasn't looking his best I would be pleased with the run. The Champion Hurdle could turn out to be the race of the festival!
Newbury
I will stick with my selections from the planned meeting on Saturday. (Cappagh and Notus de la Tour)
Fakenham 3.45
I fancy SEE YOU JACK for Andrew Thornton and Caroline Bailey to take this Novices handicap hurdle. He ran a cracker to be second to Mossley at Huntingdon in October before taking a heavy fall next time. He has disappointed twice since but on both occasions the ground was very testing. I expect to see a much better effort on a sounder surface with the extra distance looking to be in his favour. I would suggest he has Wistow to beat.
Recommended bet
2pts e/w See you Jack 14/1
