11/4

Novice hurdle winner at Doncaster (good) in November last year and put in a good performance when runner-up to an impressive winner at Sedgefield (2m1f, good-to-soft) on handicap debut in January. Returning from an eight month absence today.

Form: 411/132-

Bowie¹⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Broughton⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 114| CD

8/1

Winner over C&D on soft ground in March but well beaten twice over 2m7f here since. Drop in trip is likely to suit but remains on a mark 4lb higher than for that latest victory.

Captain Felix⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: J M Quinlan| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 111

3/1

Placed three times over hurdles including when 6L third over C&D on handicap debut last month. Races off the same mark today and softer ground forecast today shouldn't inconvenience him.

Form: 2742P-3

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: B G Powell| OR: 105

33/1

Well beaten in the main since joining this yard in the spring including in a novice hurdle at Fontwell earlier this month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 39-7

Marju's Quest²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: R Johnson| T: A Wintle| OR: 102| C| D

9/2

Best recent effort came when runner-up over C&D on good ground last month. Well beaten on the Flat since but an interesting runner having won off higher marks here in the past.

Forecasts

Get Home Now (9/4), Mahlerdramatic (11/4), Captain Felix (3/1), Marju's Quest (9/2), Sailors Warn (7/1), Handsome Dan (8/1), Bowie (8/1), Udogo (33/1)

MARJU'S QUEST has a decent record here and the confirmed pace in the race can make all to take this handicap hurdle contest. The selection has won off a 10lb higher mark here in the past and is taken to get the better of Get Home Now who has to defy a hefty rise for his latest victory. Of the remainder Captain Felix has had just two handicap starts over hurdles and can claim third today.
