Huntingdon Race 2

First Past The Post At Copybet 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $18,450

ZAMEK (5) performed well in defeat all three hurdle starts including when 7L third in a big field 3218m maiden event at Lingfield. Selected to register a win following a wind operation. MASKARVEL (3) returns from a break after managing a 23.5L fifth contesting a 3218m maiden hurdle at Kempton during December. Rates highly against this field. MR JUKEBOX (4) warrants close consideration having finished 24L fifth competing over 3218m at Southwell just under four weeks ago. Cracksman gelding CASPARI (1) failed to make an impact recording a 36L fourteenth in a 3172m hurdle at Ludlow debuting in December. Better expected.

Impressive in recent runs. Comes off a 41 day let-up. Last outing finished third of 18 starters at Lingfield on January 19 over 3200m, on slow going 7 len behind Wondering Why carrying 73.5kg at $3.30. Run before finished fourth of 11 starters at Kempton Park on December 26 over 3200m, 15 len behind Klub De Reve carrying 71.5kg at $8. Prospects look very bright.

Resumes after five months. Finished off last campaign 7 of 8 starters at Hereford October 13 over 3250m, 75 len behind Ninna Collina with 71kg at $201. When resuming last campaign 8 of 10 runners at Market Rasen September 27 over 3300m, 47 len behind Lady Tadita carrying 72kg at $26. Yet to find the frame in four career starts and happy to watch this time.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, made ground from midfield; finished 11th of 14 starters at Ludlow on December 3 over 3200m, 11 len behind Malina Road with 71.5kg at $126. Last start got back early finished eighth of 10 runners at Hereford on January 12 over 3200m, on slow going 45 len behind That'll Be Oxo carrying 67.5kg at $251. Might find this a bit tough.
