Best Jumps Action On Racing UK Novices' Hurdle

Off time: 12:31 | Winning time: 4m 51.5s

Roo Roo¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Chapman⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| D

7/1

Showed ability in a pair of bumper's and off the mark on debut over hurdles at Perth in June.. That took little winning however, and off the course since struggling under his penalty on return visit there later that month.

Form: 5-415

Skidoosh¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| CD

11/4

Much improved when scoring over C&D recently. That was a slowly run contest but beat a pair of previous winners and that represents the best form on offer with promising claimer in the saddle.

Form: 1520-41

Captain Zebo¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr John Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Dixon| OR: 114

5/1

Bumper win on debut 18 months ago but hasn't shown a great deal in three attempts over hurdles when trained in Ireland and sold for £10,000 in September. First run for current connections.

Form: 1P-34

Debrouillard^h1²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

50/1

Too green to do himself justice when 66/1 for Warwick Bumper in April and will need to step up plenty on hurdling debut now.

Form: 0-

Iwasthefutureonce²⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr William Easterby⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby

8/1

Made all in a weak Point-to-point in April and subsequently sold for £14,500. Probably best watched on hurdling debut unless market speaks in his favour.

Form: 2P-1

Leodis¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: A Nicol| T: Micky Hammond

25/1

1m6f win on the Flat but has shown little in three goes over hurdles and well beaten when falling two out behind Skidoosh last time.

Form: 5/4-3F

Pleney¹⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: Tim Vaughan

10/1

€60,000 purchase as a three-year-old. A little ability in a pair of summer bumper's but needs to leave that form behind now hurdling.

Form: 47

Schiehallion Munro³⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Joe Colliver| T: Micky Hammond

20/1

Showed little in a pair of bumper's last winter and absent since. Withdrawn on good ground here a fortnight ago.

Form: 43-

Stripe Of Honour¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁵⁾| T: A Day

66/1

Has shown nothing in two Point-to-points and a pair of two hurdles at huge prices and not hard to look elsewhere

Form: PP9-9

Thelongwayaround²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

6/1

Changed hands for £10,000 after winning a Point-to-point in Ireland in the summer and shaped well on hurdling debut for these connections at Kelso last month. Was well backed then and this longer trip will suit.

Form: P12

Bene Regina¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: D R Fox| T: N Kent

25/1

Won two Point-to-points earlier in the year but was beaten 15L by Skidoosh on hurdling debut and has work to do to reverse the form even on these revised terms.

Form: 5/2113-4

Highway Girl²⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon

9/2

Shaped well in a pair of fair bumper's at Huntingdon and Doncaster last winter and bred to do better over obstacles. One of the more interesting ones on paper and market should be revealing.

Form: 33-

Forecasts

Skidoosh (11/4), Highway Girl (9/2), Captain Zebo (5/1), Thelongwayaround (6/1), Roo Roo (7/1), Iwasthefutureonce (8/1), Pleney (10/1), Schiehallion Munro (20/1), Bene Regina (25/1), Leodis (25/1), Debrouillard (50/1), Stripe Of Honour (66/1)

SKIDOOSH did well to overcome a slow pace when scoring here recently and can defy the penalty in what doesn't look that strong a race. Thelongwararound came in for support on debut for yard and can do better at this longer trip while Highway Girl appeals most of the rest.
