National Hunt Racing > Tuesday February 18th

Wetherby 2:50 The Henry Daly trained Brave Buck is going to love these heavy conditions tomorrow. He won on heavy ground over this trip of 2m6f at Ffos Las back in October, beating Landenstown Star by 11 lengths. He then went on to Chepstow over 2m4f and followed up by 6 lengths, also on heavy ground. He ran in a very competitive race at Ascot after that but made a bad blunder when travelling well enough which cost him any chance and he ended up 10th. Last time out he went off a 4/1 shot at Haydock in a Class 3 handicap but he was never at the races for some reason. He has been dropped 2 pounds in the weights so now runs off a mark of 102, the talented apprentice jockey Jake Greenall takes off a further 3 pounds so he is 5 pounds better off tomorrow and he is dropping down in class. If he produces his Ffos Las form tomorrow he can win this comfortably. Brave Buck WIN @ 9/1 Bet Victor

Re: National Hunt Racing > Tuesday February 18th 3.55 Wetherby Fine Rightly Evs Stan James BOG Fine Rightly was runner up to Layla Joan lto at Ayr having previously scored a bloodless victory there. He also pushed Royal Caviar (a very well regarded Mullins horse) close at Navan before getting the race on appeal. Layla Joan is a very good mare and it was no disgrace to finish second there. He meets nothing of that calibre here. Templebraden won a poor race at Southwell where it was the only one that handled the ground. 10 Points win for Fine Rightly Evs Stan James BOG
