Sally Ann Grassick and Denis O'Regan give their thoughts on the weekend's action

What do you make of the Challow Hurdle at Newbury?

Leon Blanche, BoyleSports Thyme Hill looks rock solid. He’s built on his champion bumper run and has been very impressive in both starts over hurdles. It’s hard to see him being beaten.

Tom Collins, tipster A small but select field that features five promising hurdlers who could yet prove to be top class. Thyme Hill sets the standard with two impressive Grade 2 scores, already reaching the level needed to take a race of this nature, and I think he will add to his tally this season. It will be no easy feat, though, with recent course-and-distance scorer The Cashel Man in opposition.

Sally Ann Grassick, broadcaster Thyme Hill looks exciting for Philip Hobbs. He’s been going from strength to strength over hurdles and this looks like an opportunity to cement his reputation on the path to Cheltenham.
