2012 Fixed Brush Handicap Hurdle Part 2

He’s proven at 2m4f and will enjoy the extra distance here you reckon - especially with the going listed as soft. Look for him at a 9/1 price.

Sivola De Sivola is one of the other main contenders here and he’s trading at a 13/2 price tag. He’s a likable horse but he’s just not won in a while. He ran very forgettably in his Cheltenham effort - beaten 45 lengths by Brindisi Breeze. He was then sent off as a joint 4/1 favourite in his seasonal debut in a much weaker race and only finished fourth - beaten 8.5 lengths.

He did look sharper earlier in the season last year so he may improve going forward here. He gets attention because he’s got Sivola in his name, but he still has a lot to prove and is underpriced here. 

Knight Pass is sitting in the second favourite’s position with several bookmakers and he continues to search for his first victory since last December with all of his subsequent races run at much higher levels with minimal results. He took a lot of money in a Cheltenham prep and failed to deliver - beaten 38 lengths by Batonnier. He has also run sharp in the earlier part of his past seasons so may be worth a look based on that but he also has a lot to overcome for his price here. Punters will find him as low as 6/1. 

Sunnyhillboy is in the mix here, switching back to hurdles and set for a seasonal debut after closing out last year’s campaign strongly. He conquered the Kim Muir at Cheltenham and then ran second to Neptune Collonges in the Grand National.

The bookmakers have him at 25/1 and you reckon he’ll take a bit of money going into the race. This one is a real crap shoot he could win by ten lengths or finish last.
