Newcastlewest Handicap Hurdle (80-95) (Div 2)
2m 5f
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneFOUR HORSEMEN has yet to win in 11 hurdles but won a point-to-point last month, four days before finishing second at Cork. He has been placed four times over hurdles and while 3lb higher today than at Cork, holds obvious claims and likes good ground. Huckleberry Rock was nicely supported on handicap debut at Navan and while fading late-on to finish fifth, could be better suited to a sounder surface and remains reasonably handicapped. We'llhavewan showed improvement to win at Thurles and while today's race is stronger, should compete from 4lb higher on suitable ground. Holiday In Kerry meets contrasting ground than when winning here, from 9lb lower, last month but cannot be dismissed, while Command Chain ran well on testing ground at Punchestown in February. We'llgowats ran well enough at Ffos Las.
