Joe Tizzard: “I’m expecting a big run from Highest Sun.”

Sunday – Fontwell

2.50 – Vision Des Flos

Vision Des Flos ran really well at Wincanton last weekend, he kept on galloping, and so 2 ½ miles on good ground at Fontwell should suit him well. 

He’s not turned out to be Champion Hurdle class, so this Grade 2 should be his level and I’m expecting a nice run.

3.25 – Black Centaur, Mister Majic & Helford River

We run three in the Novice hurdle. Black Centaur won his only Irish point-to-point but has been a bit disappointing. 

He got stuck in the mud at Sandown last time and he’ll get handicapped after this run, basically he’s learning his job. 

Mister Majic has been off for a long time with a leg injury, he’s had two runs over hurdles and will need this run.

But it’s good to have him back on the course, he’s another one that will get his handicap mark after this and we’ll go from there. 

Helford River is a really nice, progressive young horse who is certainly going the right way. He’s a chaser in the making, is growing all the time, and we think quite a bit of him, he would be the best of the three here.

3.55 – Coastal Drift

Coastal Drift has been given a reasonable handicap mark, and so he’s probably better off running in handicaps than he is taking on 140 rated horses in novice races. 

He’s a big baby who is progressing all the time, but his mark looks fair, no more, he’s certainly not been thrown in here.
