Forecasts

Tacenda (8/15), The Nipper (6/4)

Verdict

A tricky match opens proceedings with two equally talented mares crossing swords and both like to make the running. The Nipper was a fortunate winner last time after she had jumped indifferently and was comfortably held when gifted the race at the final fence. She had shown she is not as good when denied the lead on her two previous chase starts. TACENDA is happy to press on from the front so any mistakes from her rival will enable her to do just that and make her task easier. Her trainer, Anthony Honeyball, is getting winners at a phenomenal strike rate at present and his mare is taken to correct the errors she made last time by going right-handed here.
  1. Tacenda
