Jumping heavyweights Paul Nicholls and Nicky Henderson both send some interesting runners to Worcester – live on Sky Sports Racing – as the National Hunt season begins to hot up.
2.06 Worcester – Rainyday Woman looks to make flawless start
Popular mare Rainyday Woman has been found a nice opportunity to make a winning chase debut in the Gascentre Blast EBF Mares’ Novices’ Chase (2:06) for champion trainer Paul Nicholls.
The seven-year-old won three times over the smaller obstacles last season including a Listed race at Taunton, before struggling in classier races, one being on Lingfield’s Winter Million card.
She could well thrive over fences and takes on four rivals on first chasing run, including the 127-rated Voice Of Calm from the Emma Lavelle yard.
Simon Munir and Isaac Souede are also represented with Fortunes Melody, with regular rider Daryl Jacob in the saddle for Harry Fry.
