There has to be a fair chance Might has lost his bite
Santini
1.55 Kempton
SP forecast 11-8
One of the star staying novice hurdlers from last season, whose only defeat came in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham, although he still ran well for one with so little experience in what is often a brutal race. Was always going to be an exciting chase recruit this term and didn’t disappoint when beating subsequent easy Grade 2 winner Rocky’s Treasure at Newbury on his debut this month when trainer Nicky Henderson said he thought he was undercooked. Expected to come on a ton and trainer believes better ground will suit, although he has yet to run on anything quicker than soft. First run on right-handed track.
Conclusion The right favourite and certainly won’t be laying him, but he’s landed in a red-hot race full of promising rivals who have mostly jumped impeccably so far. I’ll be having a small punt on Bags Groove.
