Betfred 'Watch Sky Sports In Our Shops' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:31 | Winning time: 3m 51.7s

In On The Act^b1,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 102| D

11/1

Jumping was poor at Fontwell recently over fences and took a hefty fall, switched back to hurdling failed to inspire with a 13½L defeat last time out at Newton Abbot. Looks to be regressing now 13lb lower than last win.

Form: 46-36F6

Weld Arab⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: M G Nolan| T: M Blake| OR: 99

25/1

Still without a win over hurdles from 10 attempts. Beaten a total of 60L on last two starts and this looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: 25P-245

Borderlinedecision^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 98| D

4/1

Only hurdle win from 11 starts came from a spell in Ireland with Niall Madden. Well beaten on all four starts for present yard but has ground, grade and distance figures in his favour and now 4lb lower than last win.

Form: 8-78765

St Peter's Square^p,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 95| D

20/1

Well beaten on a number of starts in Ireland and on stable debut at Bangor earlier this month. Vast improvement with first-time cheekpieces needed to take a hand in this.

Form: PF-5P07

Just A Feeling¹²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 95

7/2

Sixth of 13 beaten 31L when last seen in May on handicap debut. Has her first start for new yard and interesting to see what improvement powerful trainer/jockey combination brings.

Form: 2PP2/8-6

Cougar Kid^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Brodie Hampson⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 94

20/1

Out of form in three modest handicap hurdle starts during August including a 47L defeat in his penultimate start. Very little to be positive about for this contest.

Form: 82-P807

Mariners Moon^h¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 93| BF

8/1

Being on and off the bit when leading the field may have been the reason for failing to follow up on a solid second of nine here in July over 2m. Not one to write off.

Form: 645-625

Bohernagore^h¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: A Nicol| T: P A Kirby| OR: 92

4/1

Came back to form recently when going down by a neck in a Sedgefield handicap hurdle over 2m1f following below-par performances since a win at Fontwell in December. Not the most consistent of late.

Form: 7F8-5P2

Trendy Nurse^h,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁷⁾| T: K G Wingrove| OR: 85

50/1

11-race maiden and modest hurdler while with Mary O'Connor in Ireland. Not much to shout about on stable debut beaten 23L in a Stratford handicap hurdle and others make more appeal.

Form: 8/25P0-5

Hey Bob^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Callum Bewley⁽³⁾| T: C Grant| OR: 75

8/1

Now a 34-race maiden including 27 hurdle starts without any success. Has failed to make the frame on his last four starts over the summer and this looks a tall order on current form.

Form: 245445

Diamond Reflection^b,t²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: J E Moore| T: T H Weston| OR: 74

16/1

First-time blinkers failed to inspire any improvement in a second-rate run at Towcester when last seen in February. Has to improve from long break.

Form: 908/48P-

Gwili Spar^t¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Dave Crosse| T: L Hurley| OR: 67| CD

33/1

Still without a win in 35 hurdle starts and has failed to finish in three of his last five runs over the summer. Others hold stronger profiles.

Form: 4FP5P4

Forecasts

Just A Feeling (7/2), Camakasi (7/2), Borderlinedecision (4/1), Bohernagore (4/1), Magical Thomas (9/2), Mariners Moon (8/1), Hey Bob (8/1), In On The Act (11/1), Diamond Reflection (16/1), Cougar Kid (20/1), St Peter's Square (20/1), Weld Arab (25/1), Gwili Spar (33/1), Trendy Nurse (50/1)

The inconsistent Bohernagore could be the one to take the field along here in the early stages of this contest with Weld Arab, Just A Feeling and Mariners Moon making sure the pace is a good one. Another inconsistent performer Magical Thomas can build on his fine win at Fontwell last month and be in the mix but preference is for the Dan Skelton debutante JUST A FEELING who can progress on hurdle runs at Ludlow and Stratford.
