Tricky Trainer Could Score At Huntingdon

Sandy Thomson struck with Blue Kascade on Friday and is the first of the four tricky trainers to follow (see here) to get a win on the board. Tomorrow sees a big drop in the quality of fare on offer after the glitz and glamour of The Breeders Cup last night (what a run by Found!), but Ben Case has a couple of interesting runners at Huntingdon and one of them could run well at a very big price.

Petrou makes his hurdling debut in the class 4 2m 3f novice contest at 2.55. This 5yo son of Mountain High has only had two runs, coming in bumpers at the tail end of last season. He showed clear signs of promise on both occasions, particularly first time out when he finished 8L ahead of Towering, a subsequent novice hurdle winner who recently won a handicap off 120.

He is bred to appreciate this longer trip, his half brothers Shanpallas and Clash Duff both needed a trip to be seen to best effect. Daryl Jacob is booked (7/50 for Ben Case last season) and Case has an excellent strike rate with his hurdlers at Huntingdon (7/29). Now obviously plenty has to be taken on trust with this horse, but if Case has him fit and ready to rock for his hurdling debut he could well run a nice race at 25/1.

STEVOS' SELECTION: 2.55 HUNTINGDON-PETROU E/W 25/1
