Cheltenham Race 5

Masterson Holdings Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Stake: $84,132

GIVE IT TO ME OJ (2) recorded a smart fourth in the 3400m G1 Anniversary Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree last season. Arrives after a pair of flat victories last month at Epsom Downs over 2400m. Top chance. HAMLET'S NIGHT (3) is two from three with hurdles following a 5.5L success in a 3200m novices hurdle a month ago at Warwick. Likely player. LORIKO (4) maintains a promising profile on the back of a third contesting a 3200m maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter three weeks ago. Looks one to note. CABALLO DE GUERRA (1) caught the eye on most recent appearance winning by 6.5L a Kelso 3200m novices hurdle. Might feature.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 32 day let-up. Last run won by 5.5 len Warwick on September 23 over 3200m defeating Beau Quali carrying 72kg at $4 in a hurdle. Run before tracked on the speed and boxed on to post a big 8 len win. Stratford-On-Avon on September 6 over 3270m defeating Test The Market with 71kg at $2.60 in a hurdle. Promising galloper. Will go close to a winning hat-trick.
