THE ADVISOR - Huntingdon 3.35 - Handicap Hurdle - Class 2 - 3 miles 1 furlong - 13 Run - Good to Soft
A very decent quality race for the Track.
Hector Javilex was a cosy winner last time out but is up 8 pounds and Cheltenham where it was so impressive and here are literally "chalk and cheese". The Bomber liston for Henderson is typically hard to fathom but on known form doesn't appeal at the price. GET A TONIC is the one at the top of the market I like the most, a couple of wins off 130 last season and a runner up off 133 on reappearance, it ran a bit flat over Christmas but several of the Yard did and it may be down to vaccinations and off a mark of 137, I feel confident it'll run to that form of 133 at the very least. The Changing Man is upped again in terms of mark for the Tizzard team and together with Locks Corner, will be dangers but not ones I feel strongly enough in to invest today at least.
IMPHAL a Course and Distance winner for the Moore team has had a warm up over an inadequate 2 miles but wins off 113 and 116 to finish last season suggest its a horse that's upwardly mobile and off a mark of 117 it'll be competitive here surely.
Terrestia might be suited by this Track and revive for Lucy Wadham and Bryony Frost and is one to watch and TRACK forwards if showing signs of returning to form, Risk And Roll a Course and Distance winner is not out of this by any means but the mark just looks a little high.
For some shrapnel, on this tight right track where they always seem to be on the turn and races are often won from the front or by running prominently both ROMEO BROWN and SCARPIA are worth a small each way dabble. Both like to run from the front or near to the front and very often you can find half the field in bigger field handicaps here who sit out the back never seem to get in to the race, SCARPIA could be very well handicapped on some form and a wind operation may help it and ROMEO BROWN is another who has won off the front before when given too much leash. Of course there is always the danger they will beat each other up too fast too soon, but at the prices, a chance i'm happy to take.
TIP - Get A Tonic / Tracker - Imphal / shrapnel- Romeo Brown + Scarpia
