Kate Hallin Birthday Celebration Juvenile Hurdle

Off time: 14:05 | Winning time: 4m 34.8s

Cheeky Rascal²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-5| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood

9/2

16 race maiden on the flat but off the mark at the first attempt over hurdles in a weak firm ground contest at Wincanton. Placed on the Flat on soft. Probably needs to improve to defy a penalty.

Form: 1

Dracarys²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: K O Cunningham-Brown

100/1

Poor 40 rated Flat maiden who will have to be transformed by hurdling to figure here and easily passed over.

Form:

Peloric^h1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁷⁾| T: J Scott

14/1

Didn't run badly in a Bumper on debut but no promise on hurdling debut since and hard to fancy on that evidence.

Form: 35

The Lincoln Lawyer^h1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann

5/1

Regressive on Flat and having shown some ability on hurdles bow took a big step backwards at Sedgefield subsequently.

Form: 24

Tour de Paris¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: A King

20/1

Maiden on the Flat and friendless in the market on recent hurdles debut and didn't show enough to be of interest here.

Form: 4

Vlannon^v²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: M Madgwick| OR: 107

7/1

51 rated maiden on Flat. Similar level of ability both runs over hurdles and needs to improve to break his duck.

Form: 24

Fading Icon¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West

22/1

Didn't run too badly on hurdling debut but something to prove having disappointed at Fakenham on latest attempt. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 46

Polar Light⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson

50/1

Just touched off at Kempton on the AW over 1m3f in March but that was the best he managed in 16 tries and needs to be sparked into action by hurdling.

Form:

Tazka²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

1/1

Lightly raced on the Flat in France. Showed some ability on Kempton hurdles debut (ahead of Vlannon) and can build on that.

Form: 3

Yamuna River^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

50/1

Tailed off on hurdles debut at Kempton having been not fluent for much of the race. Needs to improve plenty for that experience.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Tazka (1/1), Cheeky Rascal (9/2), The Lincoln Lawyer (5/1), Vlannon (7/1), Peloric (14/1), Tour de Paris (20/1), Fading Icon (22/1), Yamuna River (50/1), Polar Light (50/1), Dracarys (100/1)

TAZKA showed some ability at Kempton and wouldn't need to improve that much to take this. Cheeky Rascal is the obvious danger despite his penalty and The Lincoln Lawyer may prove best of the rest.
