Sunday Racing Next On 26th August Selling Handicap

Off time: 15:00 | Winning time: 2m 37.39s

Booborowie²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁷⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 59

10/1

Maiden who has only shown modest form at best and produced a laboured effort when last seen at Newbury. Has to cope with a wide berth here also and not one to be treating as a solid proposition.

Form: 4375/7-9

(10)

Flower Power^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: D C Costello| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 58| D

7/2

Turned in her best effort of the season last time in a similar event over C&D keeping on well off this mark to finish a creditable 2nd. Appears to be holding her form well at this level and every chance of going one better in this.

Form: 704442

(8)

Helf^p,t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K Stott| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 57

9/1

Reverts to the Flat having won over hurdles last time at Market Rasen with cheekpieces on for the first-time. If he can reproduce that sort of form here he looks as though he could be dangerous; yet to win on the Flat though.

Form: 4679-78

(4)

Al Hawraa^p³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 55

20/1

Hardly the most consistent sort and has been badly out of form this season offering very little in three starts. Now drops in grade and back on her last winning mark but hard to trust overall.

Form: 813-089

(7)

Lean On Pete¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 53| CD

9/2

Usually seen to good effect around here (three-time course winner; twice over C&D) and should be effective in this sphere. Dropped below his winning turf and AW marks and no surprise to see him make a bold bid.

Form: 243705

(12)

Bittersweet^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: J Ward| OR: 50

7/1

Hard to glean much from her five runs so far and now steps up in trip and down in grade to see if there is some spark there. Might be hampered by a wide draw though and overall she's one that needs to show more even at this level.

Form: 5-5653

(1)

Dolphin Village^h⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 49| D

4/1

Has on occasions suggested that he still might be able to win a race as he's thrown in on his old form but hasn't now won since 2016. Can't fall much further in the handicap but will need others to falter to win this.

Form: 475680

(3)

Siyahamba²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 46

11/1

With a record of 0-15 he's of very little interest given his inconsistencies. Yet to prove he actually stays this far and nit hard to have reservations about his chance.

Form: 5239-95

(6)

Lots Ov⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

100/1

Has seven starts where she has started at 100/1 or more and yet to finish placed on the Flat (0-9). Even at this lowly level it's hard to see her winning.

Form: 986888

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 10p in the pound

Not that many that appeal here with FLOWER POWER looking to have the most solid credentials having worked her way back to form this year and finishing a good 2nd over C&D last time in a similar event; she can compete off the same mark here. Heif showed improved form over hurdles last time and if the headgear works as well back on the Flat he could prove dangerous along with course specialist Lean On Pete. He’s well-handicapped now having fallen in the weights and would be dangerous if he gets free on the lead.
