I’m taking on Henderson and Pipe however with Jonjo O’Neill’s Its A Gimme at 10-1 each-way across the board. The five-year-old’s fate will ultimately be over fences but he is on an upward curve with his seasonal reappearance when second behind Raya Star in a Class 1 hurdle over the same course and distance proving a career-best performance. That form was franked when Raya Star put up a solid performance chasing home Oscar Whisky in the recent Coral Hurdle. The handicapper hasn’t been overly harsh following Its A Gimme’s last run and with JP McManus owning the horse it may pay to get your money down on the gelding at double-figure odds before his price contracts. Key Ladbroke Hurdle Stats (Last 8 years) 8/8 – Won over at least 2m (hurdles) previously 8/8 – Won by a horse aged between 5-7 years-old 8/8 – Won between 1-3 times over hurdles previously]]>
