12.30 Newbury
Q Associates Juvenile Hurdle (Class 3) (3YO only)
Winner £6,505
Pick: Dolatulo (win)
Dolatulo: Impressed when winning by 6 lengths on final French start and continued in same vein when winning by 23 lengths in a demolition job at Sandown; Could be very smart indeed and standout here.
Cuts Both Ways: Never looks like stayer on the flat and only rated 52.
Megilo Ancora: Never dangerous when fourth to Dolatulo on hurdling debut at Sandown; Entitled to build on that, but faces another uphill task to reverse form.
Missionaire: Just about best of these on flat (earned a mark of 83 for his 11 length Epsom handicap win); Booking of Denis O’Regan given encouragement and if straightforward enough, could get involved.
Professor Emery: Not given hard time when sixth of 8 at Kempton last month and Will do better with that experience behind him (Related to plenty of winners in native France); Market will tell all.
Smad Place: Comes to top stable having been runner-up on second of starts over hurdles in French Provinces; Already has experience over hurdles and if straight enough here, likely to go well (possibly improving given French form)
Joan’s Legacy: Little worthwhile form on Flat, and far from sure to stay the trip over hurdles, so up against it.
On Khee: Posses enough ability to make a mark in this sphere (progressive earlier in season; won twice on flat) and comes from good yard for this test; Not discounted.
VERDICT: It will be fascinating to see how DOLATULO does following on from his demolition job at Sandown, and another impressive performance will have people talking of the Triumph. On Khee, Professor Emery and especially Smad Place could all be useful and will get involved if they are good enough receiving weight.
