Huntingdon Race 1

Purchase Hospitality At Huntingdon Racecourse 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Stake: $14,207

WHATSYOURPROBLEM (4) missed by 0.75L when runner-up at Southwell two starts ago. Could only manage fifth in a 3500m maiden hurdle at Fontwell subsequently. Might do better. BONGO MAN (1) may improve from a distant fifth over course and distance last month. Not discounted against this small field. MISTERODDSOCKS (2) placed three starts back in a jumpers flat race. Finds contest where might have an impact. VERA HOBBS (5) rounds out the shortlist.

Freshened for 33 days. Last run ran last at Warwick on March 9 over 3200m, 26 len behind Sage Green with 72kg at $29. Start before finished eighth of 9 runners at Wetherby on February 1 over 3200m, slow track; 44 len behind Mossy Fen Road with 73kg at $11. Doubt he can threaten on current form.
