QUEENS CAN LAND A GAMBLE

QUEENS GAMBLE (Harry Derham) wasn’t wound-up on this debut for a new yard. That didn’t stop her travelling like a dream and winning with plenty in hand after hitting the front two-out. She’s being aimed at the mares’ novice hurdle at Cheltenham and will win something decent en-route.

MISTER WHO (Toby Lawes) is a lengthy, raw-boned gelding who was pitched straight into handicap company for his chase debut. He proceeded to run a belter behind the well-backed Oxygen and is guaranteed to improve over 3m or beyond.

SUPPORT ACT (Toby Lawes) looked a million dollars in the prelims and was heavily supported (5s to 11-8). Unfortunately, he cashed his chips turning for home and wound-up a well-beaten fifth. Connections feel he is a lot better than this and the horse deserves another chance.

SIR LES PATTERSON (Harry Eustace) is a handsome colt from a tough and speedy family. He showed plenty of pace to be competitive from a wide draw and kept on strongly to finish third. This fella is with an upwardly mobile yard and will win races.
