Rachel Jones Memorial Novices' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

Centurion’s Sister has placed in four of five recent outings and moved forward last time, the form of that runner-up effort reading well over today’s distance; an opening handicap mark of 100 looks lenient given her profile. Evening Tess won at Fontwell last time under a positive front-running ride and has been progressing, but it was tight and the drop back in trip is a minor question. Into Battle brings strong Flat form and his penultimate hurdle effort has been boosted, marking him as above his current mark in time. Centurion’s Sister, consistent and on a fair opening mark, is our selection.
