2023 Swinton Handicap Hurdle Tips
Brentford Hope is a horse bidding to land a third consecutive victory, with the six-year-old having won at Huntingdon on 10 April, while there was a win that took place at Huntingdon in late March. Harry Derham therefore has a 100% strike rate with this runner considering the charge switched stables from Richard Hughes before that, with the horse previously impressing.
Byker is a four-year-old who has National Hunt racing experience and the latest of these performances saw the horse finish second to Jazzy Matty in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle over two miles and half a furlong. There was only a neck that separated the front two on that occasion, with the horse winning at Naas on Cheltenham Trials Day at the end of January.
Teddy Blue runs for trainer Gary Moore and the five-year-old was previously successful at Plumpton, with the runner claiming a victory by a short head. Previously to this, there was a strong performance in early March at Kelso, with the horse finishing sixth in the bet365 Morebattle Hurdle when being sent off as the 100/30 favourite.
Parramount was disappointed when he lined up at the Grand National meeting at Aintree, with the horse sent off as the 9/2 favourite before finishing well down the order in a handicap hurdle over little more than two miles. Wins at Fakenham and Doncaster occurred before this, with a win at Hereford in November marking him out for a big run here.
