Hereford Race 7

Wye Valley Metals Open Maiden NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Prize Money: $8,302

MY MATE AJ (5) went off at short odds both starts earlier in the winter. Showed ability despite some waywardness beaten 2.25L at Lingfield (AW) on the latter occasion. Expect he may have come on well in the meantime. OYKEL BRIDGE (6) also brings the benefit of a couple of runs. Third on both attempts last time beaten 8L at Haydock. Might go closer. BOUND FOR GLORY (11) finished a fair fourth on racecourse debut at Catterick in January. Stable can deliver jumpers flat winners. Shortlist. HERCULES HONOUR (2) makes most appeal of the three newcomers as first progeny of the Listed-winning National Hunt mare Atlanta Ablaze.

Five-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Jack Hobbs out of Atlanta Ablaze. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Likely to be well fancied.

Resuming after a break; having raced just once last campaign finished fourth in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on January 19 over 3200m, 2.25 len behind Broken Vow with 71kg at $2.80. First up last campaign finished third of 11 runners at Southwell on November 14 over 3200m, on slow going 4.5 len behind Vango Can Go with 71kg at $3. Great chance to open his account.

Having third race start. Was promising at first race start finished third of 12 starters at Warwick on December 11 over 3200m, 9 len behind Old Clayesmorian with 69.5kg at $13. Went for a break before returning finished third of 10 runners at Haydock Park on March 5 over 3100m, 8 len behind Turbocharged carrying 70.5kg at $12. Top chance.

Four-year-old gelding by Maxios out of Royal Claret has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.
