Scarlets Selling Hurdle

Off time: 20:01 | Winning time: 3m 45.7s

Berry De Carjac⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: L Heard| T: G Harris| OR: 100| D

20/1

His easy success in a Stratford handicap (2m, good) last summer remains his best effort of late. Since then he looks to have lost his way and even a recent Flat outing didn't appear to rekindle any enthusiasm.

Form: 450F0-F

Beau Phil^h,t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Scott| OR: 100

10/1

His three starts for this stable have been well below-par and despite the fact he won a maiden hurdle for Paul Nicholls he's very hard to make a solid case for even in this lowly grade.

Form: 241/PP-0

Old Salt^p1,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 120| D

11/4

Disappointed over fences last season although he has been capable of form that would see him win something like this. His most recent effort did nothing for his profile but he now reverts to hurdles in a new headgear combination.

Form: 5/P348-P

Wells De Lune¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 124| BF| C| D

1/2

Hunter chase winner here earlier in the year in very different conditions but has failed to complete in a further three races in that sphere. Odds-on when beaten last time he's now with a new yard and back over hurdles.

Form: 5/21PU-P

Slice Of Lemon¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer

50/1

Hard to find much to enthuse about in any of her form even in this lowly grade.

Form: 6P-7

Forecasts

Wells De Lune (1/2), Old Salt (11/4), Beau Phil (10/1), Berry De Carjac (20/1), Slice Of Lemon (50/1)

A race that is just about as unappealing as they come as a betting medium. The major chances are held by the two that revert to hurdles and WELLS DE LUNE is given a narrow vote over Old Salt in the hope that he finds some enthusiasm. Beau Phil and Berry De Carjac are expected to fight it out for the minor honours.
