Remembering Lisa Oldham Novices' Hurdle

Off time: 19:15 | Winning time: 3m 55.7s

L'Inganno Felice^h²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Ross Chapman⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 135

4/9

Smart flat performer who has taken really well to hurdling. Absolutely bolted up by 26L at Market Rasen (2m½f, good) last time. Carries a double penalty here but likely to be very tough to beat if in the same mood.

Form: 31-1

Movie Set²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: R Spencer| OR: 122| D

4/1

Winner of a maiden hurdle back in April (2m, good) and Huntingdon. Couldn't follow up next time and has since run poorly on the flat. May find it tough to keep tabs on L'Inganno Felice here.

Form: F1-3

Ceyhan⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: F Brennan

66/1

Average flat performer who was a winner as recently as December. Hurdles debut today but may find one or two of these a bit too sharp.

Form:

Outback Blue⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley

33/1

Two efforts so far over hurdles have been at big prices and has been well beaten. Needs to take a big step forward to trouble some of these and others clearly preferred.

Form: 05-

Sean O'Casey²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: M Appleby

11/1

Had dropped to a nice mark before winning well at Yarmouth on the flat last time. Sole hurdles run resulted in a 30L defeat at Ludlow back in January. Positive jockey booking and market check needed.

Form: 0-

Stipulate⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 110

20/1

Decent flat performer who's four efforts over hurdles so far haven't really amounted to much. Has the ability to go close in this contest but may be vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 424/4-6

Mr Young²²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: W T Kennedy| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

14/1

Won once in nine starts over in France on the flat (average form). Starts life for a new yard today and makes hurdling debut. Market a pretty good guide to expectations.

Forecasts

L'Inganno Felice (4/9), Movie Set (4/1), Sean O'Casey (11/1), Mr Young (14/1), Stipulate (20/1), Outback Blue (33/1), Ceyhan (66/1)

L'INGANNO FELICE has improved with giant strides with each start over hurdles so far and has an excellent opportunity to win again under the double penalty. Sean O'Casey and Mr Young are both interesting recruits to this sphere and can chase the selection home.
