PRESENTING OPPORTUNITY TOO GOOD TO MISS

By Chris Phillips, PA

The Toby Lawes-trained Sea Presenting has never finished outside of the top three and can finally get her nose in front in the Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Mares' Maiden Hurdle at Lingfield.

The five-year-old finished third on her first two starts under rules at Warwick and Ludlow and then filled the runner-up spot when last seen in action at Huntingdon in February.

She has undergone wind surgery and is fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time on her return from a 280-day absence and looks to have been found a good opportunity to open her account.

Dutch Corner should go close on his first run of the season in the Get Raceday Ready Novices' Hurdle.

The four-year-old made his racecourse debut in March and was beaten only three lengths in a Warwick bumper. Now switched to obstacles, the Dan Skelton-trained son of Getaway can launch his hurdling career in the best way possible.

Miss Altea Blue is the pick in the South West Rail Solutions Ltd ``National Hunt'' Novices' Hurdle at Taunton.

The four-year-old showed a decent level of ability in France for Noel George and Amanda Zetterholm before joining Paul Nicholls, for whom she opened her account at Wincanton in the spring.

She finished best of the rest behind stablemate Fasol on her reappearance at the same track just under three weeks ago and if she can run up to her rating of 120 Miss Altea Blue should prove hard to beat in this company.

Jamie Snowden is enjoying an excellent November so far and can add to his tally with Maximum Offers in the Trucksmith Loloader Novices' Handicap Chase.

The point-to-point recruit has won once and been placed three times from five starts for his current connections, most recently blowing away the cobwebs when third at Uttoxeter in late October having been off the track since April.

He should sharpen up for that run and makes his chasing and handicap debut off what looks an attractive rating of 113.

Pertemps Diamond should provide Sean Bowen with yet another winner for his boss Olly Murphy in the Ors UK 25th Anniversary Race Handicap Hurdle at Uttoxeter.

The grey is on a hat-trick after winning off 89 at Fontwell in August and 97 at Worcester last month and although the handicapper has reacted to his latest success by handing him a 12lb hike to a revised mark of 109, he is clearly on a steep upward curve.

Ouzo returns to British shores and tackles the all-weather for just the second time in the Weatherbys And Birdie Calendars Handicap at Chelmsford.

Last seen at Meydan in February, the nine-year-old can defy top-weight for Saffie and Jamie Osborne.
