2.20 Fakenham Wonderful Charm 5/6

Paddy Power

BOG

Another 2 horse race. Lets hope I get it right this time! Henderson has a great record here and runs Bears Affair who has run over fences several times without success. Their stable is yet to hit top form but their record here is well respected. However Wonderful Charm won the Persian War Hurdle around this time last year easily and then ran 6 months later against Solwhit at Cheltenham. He looks to have far more potential than his rival and should win if he stands up. In addition the stable have had 2 novice chase winners this week so far.

10 Points win Wonderful Charm 5/6

2.50 Fakenham First In The Queue 11/10 Paddy Power BOG

Another Henderson horse but this one won so easily last week at Cheltenham that even off top weight he cannot be opposed around this tight circuit with the stable's great record here.

Usually Fakenham juvenile hurdles are not very competitive with 2 ex french horses looking to be the standard bearers here. Both have won in France over hurdles but preference is for the Elliot horse who travels over from Ireland for this.

10 Points win Ariane Nopolis SP 5.00 Fakenham Prince Siegfried SP

A very interesting finale with many ex flat horses doing battle. Its A Mans World won impressively twice before finding the double penalty beyond him at Perth lto. Putin is interesting on debut but surely the one they all have to beat is the Goldolphin castoff Prince Siegfried who was a Group 3 performer at his best on the flat. Although many have disappointed over jumps it will be disappointing if he cannot dispose of this field. As with most of the other ex Godolphin horses he will probably struggle to win thereafter.

10 Points win Prince Siegfried SP
