Tiger Crusade at Kempton this eveing

LUCKY BERE can secure another victory for the profitable alliance of jockey Harry Cobden (below) and trainer Kayley Woollacott today.

Cobden has a 35 per cent career strike rate for the inform Somerset trainer and has an outstanding chance of making it six from nine this season in the 2m4f handicap hurdle at Hereford.

Only out of the placings once in seven hurdles starts for Woollacott, the five-year-old got off the mark over today’s trip at Wincanton last month.

He seemed to thrive in the testing conditions and should be at ease in today’s heavy ground, even with an extra 8lb of weight.

Wetherby’s jumps card depends on the outcome of a morning inspection with prospects not promising but should it go ahead, all eyes will be on MERCI MAM , who makes his debut for the Skelton yard.
