GOOD IMPRESSION (2.40, nap) is fancied to rack up a hat-trick by beating five opponents for the Nelson Panoramic Restaurant For Dining @LeicesterRaces Handicap Hurdle in the East Midlands on Sunday.
Bernard Llewellyn’s seven-year-old son of Showcasing followed a victory at Uttoxeter at the start of last month with a score at Ffos Las three weeks later – he finished eighth on the Flat in between – and an 8lb rise in the weights may not be enough to prevent the threesome.
Earlier on at the same track, Scarlet Ruby (1.10, nb) is a colourful choice to triumph in the Leicestershire Novices' Handicap Hurdle.
Newham-on-Severn-based trainer John O’Shea has found some great improvement over hurdles with this five-year-old, after she previously struggled on the Flat.
She got off the mark over timber in a course and distance handicap 13 days ago.
Given that she and the runner-up pulled 14 lengths clear of the third, a 4lb rise for that looks more than fair.
