Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle Preview
Race 6 – 18:50
Wednesday 13th March 2019
Grade 3 – 2m 87y
LETHAL STEPS has shaped as if he could be right at home amidst the rough and tumble of a race of this nature and can also handle the ground. Gordon Elliott’s lightly raced gelding should be competitive and just gets the nod over BAND OF OUTLAWS who appeals as much the best of Joseph O’Brien’s three contenders.
COKO BEACH has definite claims for Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy and a roughie to consider from a local stable is FANFAN DU SEUIL.
