SIS Supports Moorcroft Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 6m 18.25s

Kris Spin²⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-1| J: R Patrick⁽⁷⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 132| D

11/2

A faller in a Warwick handicap chase when last seen out in February. Reverts to hurdles after his quite lengthy absence and may need the outing fitness-wise.

Form: 223/35F-

Oh Land Abloom¹⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Teal⁽⁷⁾| T: N B King| OR: 129

6/1

Ran well off 2lb lower when a close second at Market Rasen in April before finishing down the field in a much stronger contest at Haydock the following month. Not seen since, but has claims if straight enough.

Form: 22322-0

Desilvano²⁷⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: L Treadwell| T: H J Evans| OR: 125| D

14/1

First run for over a year when pulled up at Haydock in January. Has another absence to overcome and can only be watched.

Form: 113U0/P-

Linguine^b²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: C O'Farrell| T: S Durack| OR: 114

7/2

Ridden aggressively when fourth of six over C&D last month. Races off 1lb lower, and he has yet to prove conclusively that he truly stays this trip.

Form: 220-364

Invicta Lake⁶²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 114| CD

6/1

C&D winner who has been on the sidelines since being pulled up at Sandown in February, last year. Likely to need this outing.

Form: 93064P/

Clondaw Bisto¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 110| C

9/4

Without a win in six starts over hurdles and was well beaten at Fontwell on his first start after a break. Should strip fitter, but needs to step up.

Form: 23P64-0

Night Generation^p,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: David Noonan| T: C Gordon| OR: 107

8/1

Well held on last two runs on the Flat, but has a chance on his last start over hurdles when third at Fontwell in May. Races off 3lb lower, which is a positive.

Form: 55364-3

Burgess Dream²³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: P J Brennan| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR: 90| BF

28/1

Two wins over hurdles have both come at Lingfield over this sort of trip. Up in the weights and has to prove his fitness after a lay-off, but is not dismissed.

Beneficial Joe¹⁵

T: D Killahena & G McPherson J: Kielan Woods

Teak¹⁸

Weight: 10-11| Age: 10

T: Ian Williams J: T J O'Brien

Forecasts

Clondaw Bisto (9/4), Beneficial Joe (5/2), Linguine (7/2), Kris Spin (11/2), Oh Land Abloom (6/1), Invicta Lake (6/1), Night Generation (8/1), Teak (8/1), Desilvano (14/1), Burgess Dream (28/1)

Not many of these leap off the page, but one who does catch the eye is TEAK, who had been shaping quite well on the Flat before having a sighter over hurdles last time. His stable has been in top form of late and he could be primed to land a weak-looking contest. Oh Land Abloom has prospects if straight enough after his lay-off, while Beneficial Joe, Burgess Dream and Night Generation also enter the equation.
