Dunraven Windows Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 13:38 | Winning time: 6m 10.20s

Orchard Lane²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 100

12/1

Four starts over hurdles so far and best effort came on debut at Worcester when not beaten too far. Goes up in trip for handicap debut but will need to step up on what we have seen so far.

Form: 523B66

Classi Massini⁶⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 96

7/1

Showed bits of promise in bumpers and a maiden hurdle back in 2016. returns to the track here on the back of a very long absence. Fitness needs to be taken on trust but on a fair mark if fully wound up.

Form: 52580P/

Mauna Kea⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Cheesman⁽⁵⁾| T: P Gundry| OR: 94

8/1

Not one for maximum faith but has some good form to his name off this sort of mark. Ran no sort of race at Huntingdon earlier in the week and hard to trust after that.

Form: 004-34P

Celtic Style²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: James Best| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 93

50/1

Well-beaten on all starts in bumpers and over hurdles and hard to work up any enthusiasm for her prospects despite now moving into handicaps.

Form: 6/00-456

Gentleman Farmer^p¹⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Robert Hawker⁽⁵⁾| T: R G Hawker| OR: 92

8/1

Made a winning handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces at Towcester (2m3f) in May. Couldn't back that up at Hexham next time and has since been given a summer break. Returns here and needs to continue the progress shown at Towcester.

Form: 1080-10

Robbina^p,t³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: R T Dunne| T: Christian Williams| OR: 89

33/1

Maiden after 26 starts now and has failed to complete on her last two starts. Impossible to fancy in her current mood despite cheekpieces going on for the first time.

Form: P/P0-7PP

Gold Bonne Raine^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85

2/1

Twelve race maiden now but seems to have found her level of late and improving all the time. Only beaten narrowly off a career-low mark last time at Hereford earlier in the week and will have sound claims if able to back that up here.

Form: 434/363

Way Of The World⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 84

7/4

Been running fairly well without winning of late and put up a good effort on ground quicker than ideal at Hereford earlier in the week. Conditions here are more suitable and should give it another good go.

Form: 434-743

Moontripper⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: P C Dando| OR: 73

33/1

22-race maiden has a line struck through her on account of her poor level of form and the fact she is 1lb out of the handicap.

Form: P54-39U

Forecasts

Way Of The World (7/4), Gold Bonne Raine (2/1), Classi Massini (7/1), Gentleman Farmer (8/1), Mauna Kea (8/1), Orchard Lane (12/1), Robbina (33/1), Moontripper (33/1), Celtic Style (50/1)

Gold Bonne Raine and Way Of The World both ran well at Hereford earlier in the week and will have good claims if they can back those runs up here. Classi Massini is well handicapped on some of his maiden hurdle and bumper form and if he is fit and ready to race after his absence, he could be tough to beat.
