N.H.racing at Towcester

N.H. racingtakes a bac seat for the next few months, but Towcester stages jump racing today and has attracted some large fields. Bormo (Alan King/ Robert Thornton) looks the best bet on the card; he has een in the money, rnning against decent oüpposition, on all his 4 hurdles starts and faces relatively weak oppositon in the maiden hurdle at 16.10; Nicky Henderson´s German-bred First Point (Andrew Tinkler) looks the only conceivable danhger, and should certainly be much better suited by the faster ground today. The class 4 handicap hurdle over 2 miöles at 17.10 looks very open with some interesting jockey bookings. Alan King puts up an amateur on his Penny Isöland, a recent winner on the flat, while stable jockey "Choc" rides Rawaabet for trainer Paul Hiatt. Gary Mooee has booked claimer Eamon Dehdashti for top-weight Maximix, while son Jamie partners Final Bid for Mick Quinlan, while Tony McCoy rides Palace Walk, coming off a 20 month break, for Brendan Powell.
