Countryside Raceday 28th November Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Off time: 12:45 | Winning time: 3m 58.2s

Everyday Everyhour¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 102

10/1

Has dropped 17lbs in three starts for this trainer. Drops in grade now too. Acts on good and is interesting, although stable amid a quiet spell.

Form: 46P-858

Thomas Blossom^t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Reed| T: A Stronge| OR: 99

4/1

Won a fast ground Exeter handicap hurdle (2m1f) from this mark last time. 0-3 over fences, but can't be ruled out now returning to them in decent form.

Form: 3/463-51

Bajardo^t¹⁹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 96| D

10/1

Scored twice over a similar trip in 2017. If able to return to that sort of form he would have a decent chance from this mark. Goes well fresh. Claims.

Form: 413B3-8

Paddling⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Billy Garritty⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 95

3/1

Wide margin Catterick winner (2m3f) in December, but has been unable to add to that. Even so, can usually rely on a consistent level of performance, and that combined with a 10lb claim make him short-list material.

Form: 32342-3

Hands Of Stone¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 87

5/1

Yet to break his duck in 13 attempts, but only two of those have been over fences, where he improved last time. 3lb drop here and can't rule him out.

Form: 6864-63

Show's Over^t,v¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: C Brace⁽¹⁰⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 80| BF| D

11/4

3lb lower than when scoring at Ludlow (2m, good) in 2016. Best efforts give him a squeak under this 10lb claimer, although did not take his chance with this jockey up two starts ago.

Form: P25-925

Keppel Isle^b¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T R Gretton| OR: 74

25/1

Sole win over fences was well over two years ago. Impossible to make a case for him on recent evidence.

Form: 3-68845

Daveron^v1³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: R J Price| OR: 73

16/1

Pulled up in three of his last five starts, including on his recent reappearance. Others preferred.

Form: 7P3-7PP

Accessallareas^b¹⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 69| D

50/1

Veteran who has not managed to win yet this year and powers look to be on the wane. 4lb out of the handicap. Best watched.

Form: 553746

Forecasts

Show's Over (11/4), Paddling (3/1), Thomas Blossom (4/1), Hands Of Stone (5/1), Bajardo (10/1), Everyday Everyhour (10/1), Daveron (16/1), Keppel Isle (25/1), Accessallareas (50/1)

Bajardo goes well when fresh and looks one for the short-list here, but PADDLING has his best chance since his last win and is given the nod. Hands Of Stone, Thomas Blossom and Show's Over are others not ruled out.
