Spiculas, an 8-year-old gelding
by top-class jumps sire Beneficial, made a highly promising debut for
Malcolm Jefferson at Sedgefield in December and may have suffered the
dreaded ‘bounce’ when only fourth of 10, beaten 28 lengths, over
the same course and distance last month. Twice a winner for previous
trainer Keith Reveley, Spiculas had been off the course for over two
years prior to his debut effort, where he was only caught close home
after taking a three-length lead jumping the last. He’s been raised
4lb but, having been restricted to just eight career starts, could be
open to further improvement even at this late stage and doesn’t
look overburdened in any case. He looks the one to be on in the
Totepool Betting at Betfred.com Handicap Hurdle (4.00) at Musselburgh
on Wednesday.
Selection: Musselburgh 4.00
