Sandown - Saturday 7th March

13:50, European Breeders' Fund Betfair 'National Hunt' Novices' Handicap Hurdle Final

Tennessee Tango 14/1, 2pts win (already advised ante-post)
Fortune Timmy 14/1, 2pts win (NON-RUNNER)
Cinquenta 11/1, 2pts win

Unfortunately, Fortune Timmy is a non-runner here which is a shame. Tennessee Tango goes however, and I still believe he has strong chances now sent handicapping. Another to add to the list is Jamie Snowden's Cinquenta. I was worried that he may find the ground a bit lively as he's a big old horse with some knee action but the hurdles course retains soft in the description and he looks like a type who will love this test for last season's winning connections.

14:27, Betfair Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle

Rubber Ball 10/1, 2pts win (already advised ante-post)
We're Red And Blue 25/1, 1pt each-way (6 places)

Rubber Ball is still a strong fancy and is now a good bit shorter than he was at the start of the week. At bigger odds, We're Red And Blue has a chance. He was almost leading jumping the last in this 12 months ago before fading up the hill. He's a fresher horse this time around having not run since early January and he's been in good form. Runs off a low weight and his experience could start to pay dividends now.
