STURDY MOUNT: Willmount should appreciate the longer trip

WILLMOUNT (3.00, Nap) can successfully defend his unbeaten record in Newbury’s Coral Challow Novices’ Hurdle.

Nicky Henderson’s £340,000 recruit has won three two-mile races under rules and an Irish point-to-point.

Classy in bumpers, Blue Bresil’s son strolled home by 13 lengths on his racecourse hurdling debut.

Willmount’s style and pedigree suggest today’s extra half mile should be no problem, around the same circuit.

James Bowen steps in for Nico de Boinville, after the jockey’s heavy fall at Doncaster yesterday.

Just days on from the super sub’s first top-level victory on Jango Baie, Willmount is taken to quickly double his tally.
