The Jennings Bet Kingwell Hurdle: Rubaud Returns for More Glory

In a bid to add to his impressive record, Rubaud is set to compete in the Jennings Bet Kingwell Hurdle this Saturday at a familiar venue where he has excelled before. The six-year-old trained by Paul Nicholls has showcased remarkable consistency with six wins out of 11 starts in hurdle races.

After securing victory at Wincanton in the Elite Hurdle earlier this season, Rubaud claimed his fourth consecutive win. Despite facing formidable opponents like Constitution Hill and Lossiemouth in recent outings, Rubaud now seeks success against what seems to be more manageable competition.

With concerns about ground conditions expressed by champion trainer Nicholls, there is an air of uncertainty surrounding Rubaud’s performance. However, being the highest-rated contender in the field and showing strength improvements, Rubaud aims to shine under favorable circumstances.

Lorna Fowler’s Colonel Mustard will once again challenge Rubaud after their close encounter last season. While initially exploring chasing ambitions for Colonel Mustard without desired results, reverting back to hurdles for the Kingwell Hurdle presents new opportunities for success.

Nigel Twiston-Davies and Gary Moore also bring strong contenders Guard Your Dreams and Goshen respectively into the mix as they aim for victory at Wincanton. Kerry Lee’s Nemean Lion completes the field with high spirits following a solid performance at Kempton’s Lanzarote Hurdle.

This exciting lineup promises fierce competition and thrilling action as these talented horses face off on race day!
