Market Movers – 20th February

DONCASTER

 

Petitioner

2.50pm 5/1 from 8/1

King of the North Brian Hughes looks an eye-catching booking for PETITIONER on his hurdling debutant. The former Roger Charlton inmate was a fair flat performer and should come on for his flat ran at the start of the month. A lively chance, though the favourite definitely sets the standard!

 

Bally Longford

4.00pm 7/2 from 9/2

11yo BALLY LONGFORD was second to one of the best handicapped horses in training latest and he should find this 'Veterans' company a fair bit easier. Harry Cobden is riding better than anyone right now and punters will want to see him back in the Winners Enclosure shortly after 4pm this afternoon!

Here's @SevenBarrows with an update on Epatante

LUDLOW

 

Primal Focus

3.35pm 6/1 from 10/1

PRIMAL FOCUS was a big eye-catcher on his chase deubt, staying on when it was all too late. The combination of extra distance and a 7lb claimer swing things in his favour and punters have latched onto this, backing the utterly unexposed 5yo from 10/1 into 6/1. One of the gambles of the day!

 

KEMPTON PARK

 

Angels Breath

Dovecote Novices' Hurdle (antepost) Evens from 2/1

Unibet ambassador Nicky Henderson has made no secret of the admiration he holds for ANGELS BREATH and his charge could be set to contest Saturday's Dovecote following strong support in the market. A Grade 2 winner on his Rules debut, the 5yo needs a run ahead of a possible tilt at the Supreme on Unibet Champion Hurdle Day next month. An ominous gamble.

Prices subject to change.

Angels Breath was an impressive winner under @NdeBoinville in the Grade Two @SkyBet Supreme Trial Novices' Hurdle earlier today pic.twitter.com/DkvGi0NqMC
