Proper racing edges closer and there's a decent card at The Rasen this Saturday.
Two listed races and a juvenile hurdle, won last year by Leoncavallo who went on to run 5th in the Triumph after an interrupted prep.
The 2m hurdle shows Dan Skelton's Red Tornado as an intended runner, he won the Summer hurdle at the track when rated 129, now up to 137 he'll have to lump 11:11 but it doesn't look a massively strong renewal, that one would have a leading chance.
Nicky Henderson has Cardinal Water and the good Dr runs Sir Toby, that pair could go close.
The 2m 5f chase looks a tricky affair, Shantou Flyer is declared and NTD has the improving 6yo Ballykan but it's a tough race to call, it does however signal the start of the Autumn C4 coverage so plenty to get excited about....
