Perfect timing for Christmas

The Colin Tizzard secure obtained one thing of an early Christmas present on Saturday when Native River was handed a penalty kick in the Many Clouds Chase at Aintree as his major market rival Might Bite blundered and unseated Nico de Boinville early in the race.

The former Gold Cup winner went about his business beneath champion jockey Richard Johnson and collected the Grade 2 prize, Native River’s first success since that well-known Cheltenham win in 2018. Tizzard could collect once more at Fontwell.

Perhaps not what connections had in thoughts in naming Christmas In April (Fontwell 1:00) however it could presumably be a festive success for Swallowfield Racing on this Novices’ Handicap Chase over 3m2f.

He started his career with a Market Rasen bumper win in May 2016 for Nicky Henderson but it will take until his final outing for the Seven Barrows maestro before he scored over hurdles, successful at Warwick virtually two years after that preliminary success.

He made the change to Tizzard’s Dorset base and, after some near misses over hurdles and fences final season, seems ready to open his account now over the larger obstacles.

Christmas In April chased home La Cavsa Nostra on his reappearance at Chepstow over this trip 42 days in the past and both the winner and third home have boosted the shape by successful since.

Harry Cobden is booked for the journey here and he boasts an excellent 31 % strike-rate round Fontwell within the final five years. With first-time cheekpieces added, the choice should take some halting granted a repeat of his Chepstow effort.

Eyes down for improvement

Alan King’s Eyes Right (Fontwell 2:30) is fancied to have a serious say in this Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle over 2m3f on the Sussex venue.

The choice acquitted herself quite well on her introduction to leaping at Newbury last month, finishing a never-dangerous fourth in a Class 2 Mares’ contest. The entrance three from that contest had been again at Newbury since and completed first, third and fourth in a Listed occasion.

Two of those, Floressa and Silver Forever, look probably quite good and the opening salvo from Eyes Right bodes nicely, with it being unlikely there might be anything of that ilk on this Class four contest.

Nicky Henderson’s Crystal Gazing shall be popular on hurdling bow but the Worcester bumper winner gave 10lb claimer Joe Anderson a lot to assume about once they teamed up at Ludlow final time and must hit the bottom working to attain right here.

Perhaps the chief risk to the selection could also be Mystic Dreamer for the Nick Gifford yard. She was third in a Mares’ Maiden Hurdle here final month over shorter and the entrance two have each gained by wide-margins since.

Taste for profitable not done yet

Taste The Nectar (Wolverhampton four:45) recorded successive wins at Chelmsford over this 6f trip in October and November for trainer Robert Cowell and is forgiven a lesser effort since at Kempton.

She was by no means capable of get into rivalry in that Class three contest having followed her four rivals around and the chestnut filly maybe didn’t relish the step up in trip in any case.

She is eased in grade once once more by in-form trainer Cowell (2-7 lately) and goes again to the 6f distance at which she has excelled. The booking of Angus Villiers to take a very helpful 7lb off her back appears a shrewd move by the trainer and Taste The Nectar looks overpriced having opened at an each-way price.
