2.40 Hereford – ZESTFUL HOPE (1pt win – 9/2 888sport, 4/1 generally)
With Good Friday Fairy a non-runner this 2m3f handicap chase looks wide open. Gris Majeur heads the revised market at around 2-1 but has only ever won on good ground and today’s conditions – described as good to soft, softer in places – are not going to aid his chances, despite his second-place finish in the mud at Ffos Las on his latest start (that was a poor contest and the winner was well beaten next time). Intimate has possibilities now back in trip after failing to see out 2m3f here last time but at a slightly bigger price I’ll chance ZESTFUL HOPE to break his chase duck at the 11th attempt. Charlie Longsdon’s eight-year-old ran a stinker under David Bass at Southwell last time but that track didn’t seem to suit, and he finished second over course and distance under today’s pilot James Brown on his penultimate start.
