Sands Still Birth & Neonatal Charity 'Hands And Heels' Handicap Hurdle (Conditionals/Amateurs) (Div 1)

Off time: 16:55 | Winning time: 4m 55.7s

Panis Angelicus²⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 100

10/1

Three-time hurdle winner was looking booked for second until falling at the last when last seen at Catterick in January. Returns from lengthy absence and trip here on the sharp side so others more appealing.

Form: 7/6712F-

So Sorry Sarah²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Cillin Leonard⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 100

10/1

Unplaced in six hurdle races for Joseph O'Brien and then off 482 days so likely needed the run when pulled-up here latest on stable debut. Well supported there so no surprise if we see improvement now.

Form: 45444/P

Murray Mount²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 97| CD

9/2

C&D winner over fences was tailed off here on return from a 272 day absence over hurdles before a slightly better effort latest over fences. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 142P-75

Field Exhibition⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 96| BF| CD

6/4

C&D winner over fences in July was a sound third at Southwell latest when reverting to hurdles off this mark. Returns to this venue with a handy weight and is a leading contender today.

Form: F51F33

Buckeye Shan¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr C Bickers Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 92

50/1

Former Irish trained maiden returned from the pointing fields for stable debut last month at Stratford when tailed-off eighth of nine. Huge improvement needed to be involved.

Form: FP/P-P48

Zara's Reflection^p,t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Charlie Case⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 90

40/1

Unplaced in nine career races and tailed off in both starts this summer. Shows little signs of ability and readily passed over.

Form: 0077-69

Tell The Tale^b1,t⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 86

10/3

Twice placed over hurdles in 2016 although latest was a two-runner contest. Tailed off on return at Newton Abbot last month which was the same as his final run of 2017. Blinkers reached for and represent his best hope.

Form: P5055-8

Toe To Toe^t⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 74| C

14/1

Won lone race here over 2m but that was over four years ago. Pulled up here on return to action last month after nine month absence. Best form would give him a squeak but far from confident.

Form: 34286-P

The Kvilleken^b⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: A Phillips| OR: 72

50/1

Career record of 2-50 speaks volumes and over three years since most recent success. Failed to complete in last three starts and very hard to fancy now.

Form: P-65PFP

Live For Today^b1,t⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: K Bishop| OR: 69| D

16/1

Twice pulled-up and beaten out of sight in other three races under rules. Out of the handicap here and very hard to fancy even in first-time blinkers.

Form: PP/090-P

Forecasts

Field Exhibition (6/4), Tell The Tale (10/3), Murray Mount (9/2), So Sorry Sarah (10/1), Panis Angelicus (10/1), Toe To Toe (14/1), Live For Today (16/1), Zara's Reflection (40/1), Buckeye Shan (50/1), The Kvilleken (50/1)

This is a very ordinary contest indeed and FIELD EXHIBITION is a rarity as a horse in decent form and she looks very capable off this lower hurdles mark after a good third latest. So Sorry Sarah looked to need the run on her stable debut last month but was well backed there so better should be expected this time. Panis Angelicus is capable at this level but has been off quite some time.
