Wincanton Race 4 - Betmgm King Of The Golden Darts 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
THE EGYPTIAN GINGE (6) represents a notable stable. Open to further progress after a fifth in a 3200m novices hurdle at Kempton a month ago. Likely player. MARHABA PRINCE (4) made a winning debut at this track during 2024. Showed plenty of promise providing first hurdle attempt two months ago recording a 0.5L second in a 4000m maiden hurdle at Sedgefield. Main danger. CABALLERO CLIFF (1) produced an excellent fourth in the G1 Champion Bumper (jumpers flat race) at the Cheltenham Festival last year. Now runs third up over hurdles and can improve further after a heavy ground fifth tackling 3200m at Leicester. Interesting. FULL FORCE GALE (2) warrants a market check.
