Newsboy's horse racing selections for Monday's five meetings, including Bangor Nap
COURT IN A STORM looks well treated for his debut in the sphere when he takes on seven rivals for the Countryside Day On 12th November Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (4.30) at Bangor-On-Dee today. Trained in tandem by Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls, the son of Court Cave - dam Aimigayle was a smart performer over hurdles and fences - landed a bumper at Ludlow last October and is now unbeaten in two outings over timber. Court In A Storm beat Don Virginia by a neck in a maiden hurdle over two and a half miles at Hereford in April and returned from 178 days off to beat three opponents in a novice event over three miles at Uttoxeter at the beginning of the month. The handicapper has given my selection a rating of 118, a figure that is there to be shot at, especially as Court In A Storm gives the impression he has plenty more to offer. Another boost to his chance is the presence in the saddle of Nathan Andrews, successful in two of his 12 career rides so far and able to claim a 10lb allowance. At Newcastle this evening, MATTICE , victorious at Ripon and over course and this autumn, looks ripe for the hat-trick in the Midnite: Built For 2025 Not 2005 Handicap (6.45).
