free The best race of the day is quite clearly the National Spirit Hurdle from Fontwell at 2.50pm, a two mile three furlong Grade Two hurdle that looks likely to go the way of the Twiston-Davies trained Potters Charm, though sadly I am expecting pretty short odds.
Six wins from 10 starts over hurdles represents a decent return from the seven-year-old who has now won over £220,000 in win and place prize money, with success last time out at Windsor over a furling further proving his wellbeing.
He doesn’t mind a battle when necessary and is officially best in by 8lb at these weights, with the hat-trick seeking Nurse Susan seemingly his biggest rival, but if he handles the twists and turns of the unique Sussex track, he can take home the £45,560 on offer to the winner of this Grade One contest.
