Tanners Hall destined for failure at Towcester
13:30 Towcester - LAY - Tanners Hall (Forecast 2.2)
Today's race is the 13:30 Towcester. It's a class 4 novice hurdle over 3 mile. Tanners Hall is forecast favourite trained by Jonjo O'Neil and ridden by Richard McGrath.
Tanners Hall is making his hurdles debut at one of the toughest tracks in the country. He has never raced under rules and will find this much tougher than the pointless point to point races he has raced in.
He hasn't raced for 260 days and is likely to need the run and experience today.
Jockey Richard McGrath's record for Jonjo O'Neil in 2007 is 19 rides and 19 defeats and he is unlikely to break his duck for the year on this hideous beast.
Eurocelt and Beaufort should both go well but I will be laying the underpriced imbercile Tanners Hall.
