Dave Criddle 70th Birthday Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 14:05 | Winning time: 4m 44.9s

Ataguiseamix⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Lucy Gardner⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

8/1

Beaten 14L when finishing third of four in a novice hurdle at Exeter (good) earlier this month. Stable debut that day and interesting to see how he fares.

Form: 2/PP-3

Demon Fou¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Scott

50/1

Struggled in two novice hurdles so far most recently on good ground at Stratford a month ago. Others hold stronger claims.

Form: 99

Game In The Park^t¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Tracey Barfoot-Saunt

25/1

Maiden after eight point-to-point and four Rules starts. Better effort on hurdling debut in August but probably best watched on debut for a new yard.

Form: 74PP-05

Khanisari²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

5/1

Placed in a bumper on good ground at Down Royal in May. Well beaten on debut for this yard in a similar race at Ffos Las (good-to-soft) last month and interesting to see how he fares on hurdling debut.

Form: 20

Our Boy^h1¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: S Thomas

10/1

Winner on the Flat but stuggled in that sphere on his sole start of 2018. Wears a hood for the first time on stable and hurdles debut.

Form:

Realt Or^t1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: M D Grant| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

20/1

Beaten 19L into sixth in a 2m Ludlow (good) bumper when debuting in May. Pulled up over hurdles at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month and wears a tongue tie for the first time on debut for this yard.

Form: 6P

Represented^t⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: A J Honeyball| C

5/2

Won and placed in bumpers but disappointed when sixth at Worcester (2m, good) last month on his final bumper start. One for the shortlist on hurdles debut.

Form: 1-426

Serveontime^p,t⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes| OR: 89

20/1

17 race maiden finished 16L sixth in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell (good) in August. More needed on his return from a break.

Form: 226-686

Southfield Torr²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

9/4

Finished fourth on his last two starts including when beaten 20L in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton (good-to-firm) last month. Represents a top yard and this step up in distance should suit.

Form: 34-4

Sum Fun Now²³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: A Stronge

50/1

Never a factor when finishing last of 11 in a soft ground Newbury bumper on debut in March. Others make more appeal.

Form: 0-

Dora's Field^t1⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: David Noonan| T: W S Kittow

10/1

Sole Flat success came in a 1m2f selling handicap at Chelmsford in August. Tongue tie applied for the first time on hurdles debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Southfield Torr (9/4), Represented (5/2), Khanisari (5/1), Ataguiseamix (8/1), Dora's Field (10/1), Our Boy (10/1), Serveontime (20/1), Realt Or (20/1), Game In The Park (25/1), Demon Fou (50/1), Sum Fun Now (50/1)

REPRESENTED performed well in bumpers and he is taken to get off the mark at the first time of asking in this maiden hurdle. Southfield Torr ran well over shorter on hurdling debut last time and with the step up in trip in his favour he is taken to claim second ahead of Khanisari who can put a disappointing latest effort behind him to finish third.
