Weatherbys Racing Diaries Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 4m 57.60s

Canelie⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-3| J: Miss A B O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 127| D

4/1

3lb higher than when scoring over hurdles on soft (2m3f) at Taunton in January. Out of sorts in both codes since. This is her second start since wind surgery, however, so revival not ruled out.

Form: 4P1PP-7

Red Hanrahan^t,v1¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: J & S Best| OR: 122

40/1

In and out since scoring for the only time in 2016. Respectable effort when 10L second on fast ground last time, but that was over fences and he looks best watched switching back to this sphere from this mark.

Form: 252-PF2

Notre Ami^h⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: N J Gifford| OR: 122

11/4

Dual novices' winner on soft/heavy, who returns to this discipline after falling on his chase debut last month. If he is over that experience then he is fairly treated for just his second handicap outing. Interesting.

Form: 21P10-F

Forecast^h,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Conor Shoemark| T: M Keighley| OR: 116| D

4/1

Won a Hereford novices' hurdle over two years ago. Respectable recent effort from this mark and has each-way claims with hood refitted.

Form: F6/7723

Triggitas⁴⁹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: N D Fehily| T: P R Webber| OR: 115

16/1

Doesn't appear to have been easy to keep sound and returns from another lengthy lay-off here. Certainly looks fairly treated if he retains his ability for this run over a new trip. Interesting. Market check suggested.

Form: 478/32-

Evron¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: W Greatrex| OR: 114

5/1

Ran well on soft ground on his last two chase starts in France, but well beaten at just 7-2 on his stable debut over hurdles at Carlisle last month. 5lb lower here, and has a bit to prove.

Form: 77523-5

Keel Over²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: T Scudamore| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 111

6/1

Not without promise in two starts in maiden hurdles, the latter over 2m6f. Initial handicap mark a little stiff, but he is open to improvement and is not ruled out.

Form: 11U1-42

Don't Tell George^t1²²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 108

14/1

Was last seen producing an improved effort at Plumpton in April. Initial mark looks stiff for this handicap debut after a break, but can't rule out improvement for the fitting of a tongue-tie and he is interesting.

Form: 0444-

Snippetydoodah^h,t²⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: M Roberts| OR: 105

18/1

All three of her wins have come on heavy ground, so further rain would not be an issue. Returns on a 9lb higher mark than her latest success at Plumpton in March. Goes well fresh. More needed here but clearly can't rule her out.

Form: P12/771-

Non-Runners

Mr Fickle⁵⁶

Weight: 10-12| Age: 9

T: G & J Moore J: Joshua Moore

Forecasts

Notre Ami (11/4), Forecast (4/1), Canelie (4/1), Evron (5/1), Keel Over (6/1), Mr Fickle (7/1), Don't Tell George (14/1), Triggitas (16/1), Snippetydoodah (18/1), Red Hanrahan (40/1)

Support for Canelle might indicate that improvement is anticipated on her first start since a wind op, but it could pay to stick with the more solid option of NOTRE AMI, who is unexposed and could appreciate the return to the smaller obstacles. Keel Over is respected, but a bigger danger to the selection could prove to be Don't Tell George. Evron can't be written off, but does have a bit to prove.
