Newcastle Flooring Co Ltd Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 6m 57.20s

Crank Em Up¹⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: J Kington| T: S G West| OR: 111

25/1

Stays well and ideally wants softer ground. Pulled up on his last two starts for David Dennis and joined current connections in May for £7,000. Bit to prove from this mark on his reappearance/return to hurdles.

Form: P124PP-

Calin Du Brizais^b¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 110

9/4

Switches back to hurdles again here and arrives in reasonably good form, though without a win for 17-months. Stays well. Each-way player.

Form: 2U4434

Handy Hollow¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 107

5/1

6lb higher than when last winning at Uttoxeter (2m7½f, good to soft) in September. Another decent effort from this mark at Kelso last time. More needed, but unexposed and may still have that in him.

Form: 4121U3

You're So Right¹⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 104

15/8

Well held in three novice/maiden hurdles for Jonjo O'Neill. Makes debut for this trainer in a handicap, having been off the track since April. Market should provide some clues.

Form: 38P6-

Moorlands Mist³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽⁵⁾| T: Sara Ender| OR: 103

16/1

Sprang a 33-1 surprise when bouncing back to form at Hexham (2m7½f, good) last time. Up 5lb for that. Has to be respected, but his record suggests that he will find a successful follow-up tough.

Form: 52PPP-1

Onwiththeparty⁵⁸⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Colm McCormack⁽³⁾| T: Kenneth Slack| OR: 97| CD

10/1

Trounced a moderate field here over C&D on his last start, but that was in March last year. Resumes from 5lb higher. Cheekpieces left off, but would remain very interesting if supported.

Form: 423471/

Broadway Belle¹⁵⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: D B Hurst⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C Grant| OR: 95| CD

9/1

Won over C&D by a distance in March (soft) and won from a stone higher than that last time out at Hexham in June (good). Up another 6lb, but 10lb now claimed and she enters calculations now she has got the winning habit.

Form: 3216-31

Golans Choice^p³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁷⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 88

14/1

In and out performer who ran well enough in first-time cheekpieces behind Moorlands Mist at Hexham last time. In good hands. 3lb drop will help and he could go close to a maiden rules success.

Form: 422RP4

Forecasts

You're So Right (15/8), Calin Du Brizais (9/4), Handy Hollow (5/1), Broadway Belle (9/1), Onwiththeparty (10/1), Golans Choice (14/1), Moorlands Mist (16/1), Crank Em Up (25/1)

Not an easy race to call, with last-time winners Broadway Belle and Moorlands Mist both meriting respect for that fact alone, and Golans Choice a potential player now dropping 3lb. Calin Du Brizais and Handy Hollow are both of interest, but it might be worth chancing YOU'RE SO RIGHT on his first start for Keith Dalgleish. Freshened up, he is certainly on a workable mark and might have more room for improvement than most.
