LiveScore Racing Preview: Huntingdon, October 12, 2021

Jumps racing is back at Huntingdon — and the Cambridgeshire racecourse host their second meeting of the season on Tuesday afternoon.

The six-race card begins at 1.55pm and concludes at 4.50pm.

We have picked out five horses for you to follow. 

1.55pm - Racing TV Novices' Hurdle (2m) 

Phillip Hobbs' gelding KANUKANKAN was in contention to score on his debut in a maiden hurdle at Exeter (2m1f) last October when he jumped left at the third obstacle from home, unseating Tom O'Brien. 

He was then well beaten at Newbury in a race which was won by subsequent Grade One winner My Drogo. 

The six-year-old should have had lots of schooling at home since his last start so expect a much better round of jumping. 

This horse clearly has a lot of talent and this looks a good chance for him to get off the mark. 

LiveScore selection: Kanukankan 

2.30pm - Racing TV Mares' Maiden Hurdle (2m3½f) 

I SPY A DIVA appeared for the first time back in April in a National Hunt flat race at Worcester (2m) where she made a winning start. 

Kim Bailey's runner stayed on strongly in the contest to prevail by just over a length. 

The horse which was third has since come out and won, so the form of that race has been boosted. 

The four-year-old filly does not have the same level of experience as her three rivals here, however, she is the most unexposed. 

A second straight win could be on the cards for the filly on her hurdles debut.

3.05pm - Racing TV Novices' Handicap Chase (2m4f) 

It was a successful return to action for YOUR DARLING at Huntingdon (2m) back in May in what was his first outing since having wind surgery. 

He made all in that race and was very game in the run-in to the finish line to score by a head. 

Ben Pauling's runner is now going chasing where he may improve for the switch to fences. 

This official rating of 119 is a fair mark for this horse to begin his chase career off. He also benefits from jockey Luca Morgan being able to claim 5lb.

3.40pm - Racing TV Handicap Hurdle (2m) 

PELTWELL ended last season with four consecutive victories, which meant she shot up the wrights to this latest rating of 106. 

In her last victory at Hexham (2m), she was well on top at the finish, which indicates there could be more to come from her. 

The 2020-21 campaign was a very busy one for Neil Mulholland's runner so a break over the summer was deserved. 

She can pick up where she finished off by extending her winning run in this handicap hurdle.

4.50pm - racingtv.com Handicap Hurdle (3m1f) 

It took MOTION IN LIMINE four attempts to get off the mark under Rules. He was victorious at Down Royal in a 16-runner field back in August. 

He has since switched stables to Dr Richard Newland's yard. 

This horse remains open to improvement, and it would be no surprise to see him shine on his first start for his new trainer.
