14:37 - Hullnback 13/8 2pt win
Fergal O’Brien will be very disappointed if HULLNBACK can’t get off the mark over hurdles today, following his promising first attempt.
The son of Schiaparelli looked the likely winner before jinking and making a mess of the last flight at Chepstow, finishing 2nd to the more experienced Pikar. The form of that race is working out very well, with the 3rd placed horse, Master Chewy looking a winner before falling next time out at Ascot, and the 4th placed horse, Timeforatune bolting up since too.
Although this contest is no penalty kick, I expect him to come forward for his last run and convert his smart bumper form to hurdles form through the rest of the season.
