Folkestone 3.30
A weak race even by Maiden standards and a chance is taken on O'MALLEYS OSCAR who ran a good race in his bumper debut. He ran an OK race over further at the track last time and I think the drop back will help as well as the added experience. It was also his first run since March last year so he should be spot on fitness wise. The jockey booking of Dennis O'Regan catches the eye and I expect a bold show.

NOBUNAGA will take all the beating in this novice hurdle. He showed a good level of form on the flat and after disappointing on his debut over hurdles in Jan 2010. He was then off until last month when making a very impressive return when beating Araldur from the Alan King stable. That race seems to be working out and the time would indicate it wasn't a fluke. He is entered in the Triumph Hurdle and although he probably won't prove up to that level he wont need to be to win tomorrow. The attheraces forecast price is 11/4 but I would imagine he will open around 11/8 and be backed in to odds on.

This looks to me a straightforward chance for DANTE'S STORM to put himself in the reckoning for the Foxhunters at Cheltenham come March. He is unbeaten in point to points and has also won at the course. Song of Songs will be popular but I cannot have a horse who struggled to stay past 2m 4f particularly given that they normally go off very quick in these Hunter chases. I expect the danger to be Snakebite with top female amateur Polly Gundry on board.
