A tight contest in which the selection is SAUMUR. A reliable handicapper on the flat, she justified favouritism to score over track and trip last-time out. She is very well-treated judged on her form in the other sphere, and looks sure to go well running under similarly good ground.
The whole field has something to prove here, and so a chance is taken on JUNCTION FOURTEEN, who was a decent second two starts back, his best effort for a while. He weakened over three-miles last-time, now returned to a trip over which his last victory came off nine-pounds higher. He can take advantage of being eased in grade here.
THIRD ESTATE has placed on two occasions off this mark, beaten six-lengths over hurdles here last-time, He is out of a winning pointer, so is bred to handle the fences, and has the right man onboard for his chase debut. A decent second on his first start for five months, behind a previous winner, will see him spot on for this test.

Located in Cambridgeshire, Huntingdon is a National Hunt only racecourse. It is only 25 miles from Newmarket which is the base of many big flat trainers, so it’s not unusual to see them introducing horses to hurdles for the first time at the venue.
Course: The circuit is a mile and a half, very flat with wide, sweeping bends. Therefore it suits speedy horses for our tips.
Feature Races: The Grade 2 Peterborough Chase is the highlight of the season at Huntingdon. It is run over two and a half miles and often tracks some brilliant horses. Cheltenham Festival winners Edredon Bleu and Best Mate both won this race. We also have tips for the Sidney Banks Memorial Novices’ Hurdle which is sometimes used as a stepping stone to the big spring festivals.
