A Day On The Dub can get backers off to the perfect start by landing the opening EBF Novices' Hurdle at Catterick today. Tom Tate's charge has failed to break any records in his hurdling career to date but showed signs of getting his act together when fifth to the odds-on Dawn Leader in a similar event at Huntingdon last month.
Having been up with the pace throughout, in fact he led the field into the fourth-last flight, he was not given a hard time of it after his chance had gone.
Raised in distance today, A Day On The Dub looks the one to upset likely favourite Jessica One.
A chasing campaign has always looked on the cards for Jonjo O'Neill-trained Just One Question and he can make a winning debut over fences in the Stayers' Novices' Chase.
As a hurdler he never raced over the distance of ground he looks to need so the three miles and two furlongs of today's race looks to be right up his street. Sue Edwards saddles a trio of runners at Lingfield. The Newsman and Normania are each likely to find a couple too good in the Holtye Maiden Hurdle and HBLB Edenbridge Handicap Hurdle respectively. But Call Home can reward his trainer in the Stephanie Wilson Birthday Handicap Chase.
