RECENT LAMBOURN WINNERS

1:13 Market Rasen, 13th November

Roe And Co

Jamie Snowden

He had a few training issues last season, but on the back of a good break he should be able to step forwards this season. He was 3rd on his handicap and chase debut at Ffos Las, and he stepped forward from that to win last week at Chepstow. He escapes a penalty for that conditional jockeys race, but is due to go up 6lbs in the future, so is 'well in here'. A reproduction of that effort will see him win here again.

PRICE 11/10F
2:45 Hereford, 11th November

Noble Park

Nicky Henderson

He hasn’t set the world alight so far but we think he will make a better chaser.

PRICE 7/5F
1:26 Huntingdon, 11th November

Lady Tadita

Jamie Snowden

She was very impressive on her bumper debut when she won at Huntingdon. Given time to mature and fill her frame, she looks an exciting novice hurdler. She won very impressively on her hurdling debut, and that race has worked out well. She should take all the beating here despite the 7lbs penalty.

PRICE 8/15F

She Is For Me Boys

Jamie Snowden

By Clovis Du Berlais out of an unraced dam from the family of the very useful mare, Violin Davis. She won an Irish Point at Toombridge in October and is the type to develop into a nice chaser in time. She looked a smart mare when winning two novice hurdles in the spring and she can continue to progress over fences. She jumps well and is in great form.

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTED RUNNER

A Path To Ronda

2:30 Exeter

“She won a bumper on her racecourse debut and was 4th in a listed race at Sandown last season. She jumps well and should make up into a smart novice this season. She won very impressively on her hurdling debut at Stratford last time out, and has to shoulder a penalty here against a decent bumper winner. However, she looks smart and so can hopfullly defy that penalty.”
