Sherwood Marquees Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:31 | Winning time: 5m 58.45s

Eur Gone West^h1,t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 117

10/1

Step up to 2m4f didn't bring about the required improvement last time and although this is a drop in class, has to show that this even longer trip trip is what he wants. Now tries first time hood.

Form: 3/68-424

Notachance⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| OR: 115

6/1

Lightly raced and now into handicaps. Probably capable of improvement and opening mark doesn't look too severe. Market should be informative.

Form: 2-23

Slanemore Hill^b1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny Cook| T: C Grant| OR: 113

50/1

Has jumped badly right over fences so should be happier going back this way around. Hurdling debut now and blinkered first time.

Form: 341-3PP

Oscar Ceremony³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 112

4/1

Showed this is his trip with a staying on third at Uttoxeter on latest. Now handicapping and type to do much better. Respected.

Form: 483

Tikk Tock Boom²⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams| OR: 110

25/1

Improved effort when last seen at Worcester in June when second to Timeforben. Absence since a slight concern but form claims if fit enough to do himself justice.

Form: 74U8-52

Corinto¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| OR: 109

6/1

Found the drop down to 2m2f against him here last month but was staying on and the step up in distance here looks in his favour. Lightly raced and more to come.

Form: 0534

Treasure Dillon²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: Evan Williams| OR: 108

6/1

Steadily improving and bumped into one at Bangor last time. Won a Point-to-point on soft ground so any further rain will be a bonus.

Form: 1-8422

Wasdell³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 108

16/1

Has shown promise in three novice hurdles up to 2m4f. Now handicapping and market should prove guide as to what is expected.

Form: 438

Loch Linnhe^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Ross Chapman| T: G Boanas| OR: 106

11/4

Front runner who has put in a pair of sound efforts since wind surgery. Clear of remainder when close second at Newcastle last week and able to run off the same mark today.

Form: 3P3632

Very Extravagant^p³²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 102| D

14/1

Rattled off a hat trick in 2016 though generally not in the same form since. Bit better at Wetherby last time and if able to build on that has place claims.

Form: P-7FP33

Minella Gathering²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: P J Brennan| T: P Henderson| OR: 84| D

16/1

Struggling of late and has looked a hard ride on occasions. Receives plenty of weight from his rivals but others preferred.

Form: 65P-457

Forecasts

Loch Linnhe (11/4), Oscar Ceremony (4/1), Corinto (6/1), Notachance (6/1), Treasure Dillon (6/1), Eur Gone West (10/1), Very Extravagant (14/1), Minella Gathering (16/1), Wasdell (16/1), Tikk Tock Boom (25/1), Slanemore Hill (50/1)

Plenty in with a chance and a narrow vote goes to TREASURE DILLON. Oscar Ceremony can do better now in handicaps and looks sure to be a threat while Corinto is open to improvement up in distance.
