2.53 Newton Abbot – Hang In There bids to continue winning run

Hang In There returns to the scene of his sole defeat over fences on his chase debut, taking on two rivals in the Pertemps Network Novices’ Chase (2:53).

While 70-rated Oborne Lady looks to be no match on paper, Paul Nicholls sends Hell Red who is an intriguing opponent, having won four of his five chases although is rated 12lbs below the likely market leader.

Emma Lavelle and Tom Bellamy again team up with this favourite, and will surely be looking at bigger prizes in the next month or two if they get the job done here.
