Davies Chemists Ltd Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:01 | Winning time: 5m 28.26s

Padge³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 128| D

10/3

Yet to convince on two runs since returning from a long break. Even then he doesn't look especially well-treated (on hurdles form), so best to look elsewhere.

Form: FU30/P5

Never Equalled^p²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 124| CD

15/8

C&D winner who may well appreciate the return to this course in conditions which should suit, especially off this workable handicap mark in what looks an easier race.

Form: 431-6U3

Robin Of Locksley^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr D Skehan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 119| D

13/2

Returns to hurdles having refused over fences the last twice. Switch back to this sphere is an obvious positive, but even ignoring those runs, it's unlikely his form is good enough.

Form: 3418RR

Sartene's Son²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 113

3/1

Fair efforts in his last two races, which were an improvement on his efforts in maiden/novice company. Still progressing and represents a top trainer/jockey combinations here.

Form: 9P7933

Lime Street^p¹⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 110

5/1

Ran well for a way at this course last time over a slightly longer trip, though he'd almost certainly prefer a sounder surface.

Form: 312274

Non-Runners

Zero Grand⁴³

Weight: 12-2| Age: 7

T: J Farrelly J: Brendan Powell

Forecasts

Never Equalled (15/8), Sartene's Son (3/1), Padge (10/3), Lime Street (5/1), Robin Of Locksley (13/2), Zero Grand (10/1)

This can go to NEVER EQUALLED. A C&D winner who should enjoy conditions, he looks to be on a fair race and should appreciate the fact this looks an easier race (and that said he still was far from disgraced at Lingfield when last seen). Others who could be thereabouts are the Twiston-Davies' improving Sartene's Son and, in the unlikely event the ground dries out, Lime Street.
