Last Ran: 31st January 2009
The Grade 2 totesportbingo.com Towton Novices Chase is run on Saturday at Wetherby racecourse, and currently see's Donald McCain's Will Be Done as an entry. This eight year old looks very impressive having scored four times out of four over fences and bidding here to make it five. His last outing took him to Haydock in the Grade 2 Blue Square Novices Chase where he found things a whole lot tougher but proved he was a good sort defeating Tartak by four lengths.
Ferdy Murphy has Poker De Sivola who steps up in distance here, this six year old has yet to win over fences but he arrives in good form, he is worthy of considerstion. Companero, is unbeaten over fences out of three starts, his most recent at Ayr earlier this month where he ran a great race in soft ground which he obviously needs.
Kornati Kid is a winner over three miles so the trip should prove no problem for this one, its first time at this distance for Lightning Strike so time will tell whether this one has the stamina required.
Skippers Brig looks an interesting prospect and has already scored twice over larger obstacles, reported to be very well he will like the ground, a good performance could be on the cards.
