3:20 Huntingdon Tips

Hittheheadlines caught the eye under tender handling on his first run under rules at Ascot in November. He had previously won an Irish point-to-point by 14 lengths. He is by the up-and-coming sire Harzand and out of a Presenting mare with plenty of good National Hunt horses in the pedigree. With Dan Skelton's bumper horses improving significantly for their first run, he should go very well in this race.

Milpat ran reasonably well on his hurdle debut in France, where he finished a good second in a bumper. That was highly encouraging. Dam won an NHF race and also placed over hurdles. He was staying on strongly the last day, and this extended trip should suit. Looks a good opportunity.

This 3 showed more potential than the final position suggests, coming 5th in a bumper at Wetherby during his NH debut 16 days ago, where he led from 1 mile out to 1 furlong from the finish over 2 miles. With skilled jockey Lee Edwards taking the reins, expect significant improvement, and the odds of 26/1 present fantastic value.

Has been disappointing in two races to date. Should be better than those performances have shown and, with improvement still likely, holds an each-way chance.
