Greatwood Hurdle

[Liam301287]

For this race I like the look of Devilment. One of the first few in market. Raced at Cheltenham festival last year. Won here last month. Ran over hurdles no more then 6 times. Is around 10/1 shot at the moment. JP Ferguson and Bloomfields connections.

In the Greatwood - I'm all over Mick Jazz, just hope he gets a run.

just had a look and would be my pick also. Should get in too.

Liam - The bllomfields operation getting closer to landing a big one every year but I cant back the Ferguson horses on soft - tropical storm abigail is on the way.

One on Donns to follow list ( favourite if he runs imo)

Renneti - Willie Mullins

Renneti could be an interesting prospect this season, returned to hurdles. He ran a big race in the Cesarewitch the last time we saw him. He was free and keen through the early stages off an unusually sedate Cesarewitch pace yet, moved to the outside at the three-furlong pole, he finished best of all from the rear to snatch fourth place on the line, just a length and a half behind the winner Grumeti. Rated 92 on the flat now - a rating that may still under-estimate him - he was a talented novice hurdler two seasons ago, he finished a close-up second in the Grade 1 Royal Bond Hurdle, when he had his stable companion Arctic Fire behind him in third. Off the track for 16 months (although effectively without a race for 20 months), he returned last August to easily land a two-mile hurdle at Sligo. He is quirky, he refused to race at Fairyhouse in April 2014 and he wasn't certain about it at Sligo in August, but he is obviously talented. He has raced just five times over hurdles and he could be well-handicapped over hurdles now on a mark of 144. The strong pace that big-field two-mile handicap hurdles usually generate should suit him well.
