Lanzarote Hurdle

Great to have Jump Racing back after the big freeze with the main action taking place at Kempton. It is perhaps wise to tread a mite carefully as it anyone's guess as to how the form lines have been affected. Nevertheless it is reasonable to assume that Nicky Henderson's string are in fine fettle following a novel treble at Southwell during the week. Both his participants (Duc De Regniere & Tasheba) in today's feature race; the Lanzarote Hurdle, look to have leading chances. However in a competitive race, I prefer to look towards the bottom weights and fancy the chances of Mighty Moon. He will relish the going, has plenty of stamina and progressed nicely over last hurdles last season. Richard Fahey had him well entered in decent races over the past few weeks and doubt if they are making the long journey to stretch his legs.

Otherwise, interested to see Mad Max debut over fences and the clash between ex Sir Mark Prescott horses (Braveheart Moon + Watergate) in the juvenile hurdle.

good luck....
