Greatwood Handicap Hurdle Tips

The Greatwood handicap hurdle tips for this week's Greatwood Hurdle betting race is the Paul Nicholls trained Rippling Ring. Although very disappointing last time out at Aintree the reason could be blamed on the ground; it was not to his liking on the day and he would probably prefer it a little firmer. However, the general belief at the stable is that the South African import is a Grade One horse in the making and he is tipped to confirm that belief this weekend.

It should also be remembered that he was fifth in the Supreme Novices last season at the Cheltenham Festival. In that race he had Binocular, Kalahari King and Snap Tie in front of him and all three of those have gone on to win good races since, indeed Snap Tie defeated Champion Hurdler, Katchit earlier in the season and Binocular is the current favourite for the 2009 Champion Hurdle renewal.

This is a good form guide and punters are advised to take note. Rippling Ring is 6/1 joint second favourite with Paddypowerfor this race where it should also be remembered that the Nicholls yard is in sensational form at present. The por run at Aintree can have a line drawn through it as it would appear that he may have had a blood disorder on the day, but he is well now and has come on for the race.
