2m1f (2m179y) (New) William Hill County Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+)
Winning this requires a strong traveller and SIXANDAHALF has long been on my radar for this race. Her yard have had a disappointing season but 3lb claimer Conor Stone-Walsh and Gavin Cromwell combined for a winner in the Cross Country on Wednesday and that’s a green light for his horses. Sixandahalf looked a sure winner of the Mares’ Novice last season before getting done at the line, and returning to the same course and distance she can run another huge race on what’s her handicap debut. She needs to find improvement on recent form, but I think she can.
1pt win Sixandahalf @12/1, 14:00 Cheltenham, Friday
