Bangor only jumps meeting today

With Chepstow abandoned because of flooding, Bangor now stages the only jumps racing today, but the card is very low level and there are some very small fields as well. Nicky Henderson, who is currently enjoying a purple patch (4 more winners yesterday) sends three runners up to the Welsh border, but they are clearly not among the stable´s leading lights and none of them really stand out as worth betting. Instead local trainer Donald McCain could be the man to follow. He saddles useful flat handicapper Absinthe (Jason Maguire), who makes his hurdling debut at 14.30 CET and he could well get off the mark at the first time of asking, while Seedless (Callum Whillans) in the mares novice hurdle at 13.55 and Diocles (Maguire) in the maiden hurdle at 16.10 also have good chances.
