Today’s tip comes from Newbury where a smart horse on the flat looks to open his account over hurdles. ERMINE SEA is potentially well treated now handicapping and his recent third on the flat at Ascot particularly caught the eye. This was not an isolated piece of form however as he had already shown a bit of promise whilst with John Gosden. He has had three runs over hurdles, placing on each occasion and displaying enough ability to think he could be up to the task of defying today’s mark of 115.
