4.40 Cheltenham - Fred Winter
Handicap Hurdle (2m110y)
Much the hardest event of the
entire week to handicap, the Fred Winter can be a graveyard for followers of
the market, but this is a race which tends to be run at a furious gallop, and
it’s paid to stick to classy ex-Flat racers who are better able to cope with
the frenetic pace that their NH-bred counterparts. One who looks to have been
laid out for this is David Pipe’s UNANIMITE, who ran well from a mark of 94 on
the Flat in December. He has had only the minimum number of runs over hurdles
to require a mark, winning a modest affair at Market Rasen in September, and
was trying to concede weight to Golden Doyen and Hargam in the Prestbury Hurdle
here in November. He is bed to appreciate a fast surface, and avoided deep
ground when trained by Keven Borgel in France.
