ITV Racing is again Friday for a wonderful Paddy Energy assembly and one I’ve all the time adored previously. Sadly I’m not on the staff this week however you’re in a for an actual deal with beginning right here with a Listed novices’ chase over an prolonged 3m. If Buddy One – as soon as third within the Martin Pipe on the Pageant and fourth within the 2024 Stayers’ Hurdle – received his leaping collectively he might simply make all on this, however the one almost definitely to have the possibility to try this is HYLAND who simply appears to be like uncomplicated for Nicky Henderson and the superb Nico de Boinville. Rated 144, Hyland one over this course and distance in October, and was a fairly helpful hurdler again within the day scoring at this observe in an enormous discipline in October 2023. He’s only a stable kind.
Up at school now for the Grade 2 Shloer Chase over 2m. I’ve by no means been positive JONBON is sort of pretty much as good as his score, however he actually needs to be far too good for this discipline being 6lb or extra away from his rivals. Edwardstone is the apparent hazard, however he’s 10 happening 11 now and it might probably’t actually be anticipated he’s going to be pretty much as good as ever. Jonbon was solely overwhelmed as soon as final season when he jumped terribly at this observe however he stuffed Edwardstone on this race final yr and may repeat.
Right here’s a cross nation chase over an prolonged 3m5f. Fairly open regardless of a small discipline. Conflated brings the category and Mister Coffey might simply win however he’s nonetheless but to land a chase. I’ll stick to out and out stayer and buddy TOMMIE BEAU who will not be essentially the most gifted of those however is constant and been in cracking type for a very long time now for Seamus Mullins. He’ll get the journey and I’ve a sense he would possibly simply love this observe. Carried an enormous weight when third at Sedgefield just lately however he nonetheless ran effectively that time off a excessive mark. A couple of quid each-way.
A Grade 2 novices’ hurdle over 2m5f. The important thing to this race is whether or not Valgrand stays. If he does, I think he might be very exhausting to beat however at this stage I favour POTTERS CHARM, who doesn’t but leap in addition to Valgrand however who ought to love going up in journey to 2m 5f now and even additional in time. He’s received his two hurdle races – together with at this observe – in good type and is clearly a promising kind for the Sam and Nigel Twiston-Davies’ staff. Has a terrific battling perspective.
So better of luck and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
