The Race of the Day is at Wincanton
"Themilanhorse is improving over hurdles and looks to have a sound chance of completing the hat-trick."
Timeform look at the runners in the 2m4f handicap hurdle for conditional jockeys at Wincanton....
Perpetually won his first 2 starts over hurdles and showed improved form when third in Cheltenham handicap when last seen in November. Should give another good account off 4 lb higher mark.
Silver Gypsy was twice a winner over hurdles for Kim Bailey, but not taken to chasing as expected for this yard. More encouraging signs at Bangor last month and by no means handicapped out of things.
Themilanhorse is a well-bred gelding who was successful in 1 of his 3 starts in bumpers. Getting the hang of things over hurdles, proving opening mark to be wrong earlier in the month. Has more to come.
Swift Lord has some strong hurdles form, signing off last season with impressive success at Hereford (17f). Absent a year and didn't do enough on reappearance to warrant an interest this time.
Santera was much improved when winning twice for John Flint last season. Ran quite an encouraging race at Sandown for this yard last time and won't be far away if in the same form here.
J'Adhere gained compensation for string of near misses with game win at Taunton in December and another good run when second at Ludlow last month. Not at very best last time and upped in trip now.
Gay Sloane was a fairly useful hurdler in 2009 for Noel Meade, winning handicap at Limerick. Slowly refinding form for current yard without looking obviously well treated.
Revani placed twice from 4 starts in bumpers, and showed much more in hurdles on last 2 starts. Has joined Nick Williams since last run and may well have more to come. Interesting contender.
Minella Special was runner-up 3 times in points and run 2 good races over hurdles here (behind Chesil Beach Boy) on last 2 starts. Stays this longer trip and unlikely to be far away once more.
Timeform 1-2-3
