Destiny's Gold^b¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 125| CD

4/5

The top rated of these on ratings, but also carries the most weight. Needs to bounce back from lackluster handicap efforts the last twice.

Form: 41UP-54

Clearly Capable^p,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: B Barr| OR: 86

14/1

Has lost his way slightly since taking a Newton Abbot novices' handicap hurdle a year ago and now resorts to claiming company off what looks a big weight.

Form: P138-97

Cliffside Park¹⁸⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| OR: 120| BF| D

6/4

Disappointed in a selling handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time when even money favourite, but well treated based on handicap ratings/weight carried here and arrives in good form.

Our Uncle Pat^h⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson

100/1

Has shown little in point-to-points, two hurdle races and a chase under rules so far, and impossible to build a case for in a first-time hood.

Form: UP-760

The Lady Rules^t1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 87

25/1

Yet to show much in handicaps. Needs switch to selling company/first-time tongue strap to spark some improvement if she's to play a part.

Form: 3P45-06

Forecasts

Destiny's Gold (4/5), Cliffside Park (6/4), Northandsouth (11/2), Clearly Capable (14/1), The Lady Rules (25/1), Our Uncle Pat (100/1)

When comparing weight carried here to handicap ratings, CLIFFSIDE PARK holds obvious claims. He may have been a disappointing favourite last time out but he's better than he showed there, and with the Champion Jockey in the saddle can step up on that effort to get back to winning ways here. Destiny's Gold is the only other 110+ rated horse and is by far the biggest danger, followed by Northandsouth.
