Newsboy believes Court In A Storm looks a bargain on his handicap debut with a third win over hurdles at Bangor (4.30) and he also rates Mattice good for his hat-trick push at Newcastle (6.45).
COURT IN THE STORM looks well treated for his debut in this area when he takes on seven rivals in Countryside Day on November 12 at Bangor-On-Dee today. Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (4.30).
Co-trained by Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls, the son of Court Cave – dam Aimigayle performed well over hurdles and fences – landed a bumper at Ludlow last October and is now unbeaten in two stakes over wood.
Court In A Storm narrowly defeated Don Virginia in his debut hurdle race over two-and-a-half miles at Hereford in April and returned after 178 days off to beat three opponents in a novice contest over three miles at Uttoxeter earlier this month.

The handicapper gave my selection a score of 118, a value worth focusing on, especially since Court In A Storm seems like it has a lot more to offer.
Further increasing his chances is the presence in the saddle of Nathan Andrews, who has been successful in two of his twelve rides so far and secured a 10-pound allowance.
Tonight in Newcastle, MATTICE victorious at Ripon and Over Course and this fall, looks poised for a hat trick in the Midnite: Built For 2025 Not 2005 Handicap (6.45).
