    Race Analysis

    This feature event could go to the Skelton team as MYDADDYPADDY (4) arrives unbeaten with a jumpers flat race debut success preceding a pair of hurdle wins this season at Carlisle tackling this trip and again in easy fashion landing a 2m hurdle at Haydock three weeks ago. Top pick. IDAHO SUN (3) bids for a hat-trick gaining a 3. 5L success contesting a 2m2f maiden hurdle at Fontwell prior to securing a victory by 11L in a Bangor-on-Dee 2m1f novices hurdle. Rates highly. STARMOUNT (5) displayed plenty of promise three weeks back winning by 5L a 2m novices hurdle at Wetherby. Interesting up in grade. DIAMOND HUNTER (1) won easily at Plumpton prior to taking the 2m G2 Newton Novices Hurdle at Haydock last month. Holds claims.
