Shannon Price 21st Birthday Celebration Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:11 | Winning time: 3m 59.8s

Collodi¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 12-1| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: C R Dore| OR: 101| BF| D

4/1

Won twice last season for Neil Mulholland but no luck for current connections although went very close last time when beaten a nose at Plumpton. Raised 3lb for that but shouldn't be at all far away.

Form: 53P422

Moayadd¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 98

6/1

Four-time Flat winner at up to 1m4f but hasn't shown a great deal so far over timber. Goes handicapping for first time though so could be improvement to come and market should prove a fair indicator.

Form: P834

Glimpse Of Gold^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlie Price⁽⁸⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 97| CD

3/1

Hacked up in Southwell selling handicap hurdle last time and rasied 7lb. Faces tougher opposition but is a previous C&D winner so has to be respected in current form.

Form: 4-73351

Agent Westy^t1⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 94

25/1

Fame And Glory gelding who has cut little ice in five starts to date, including on handicap bow at Chepstow last week. Eased 5lb and represents last year's winning yard but has something to prove.

Form: 47760

Secret Melody^t⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 94

16/1

Nine-race maiden but appeared to show improved form in Doncaster novice hurdle when not beaten far on first start since wind surgery. Decent show not ruled out back in a handicap.

Form: 48-F074

Tunnel Creek^p³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Edward Austin⁽³⁾| T: Sean Conway| OR: 90

40/1

Only jumps success came in 2017 2m4f Worcester h'cap hurdle, Badly out of form this campaign and has tumbled in the weights. Hard to fancy despite low mark.

Form: 456-69P

Kereman⁵⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: William Marshall⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 90WS

13/8

Represents top yard and hinted at ability on first four starts last summer prior to wind surgery. Reappears now off 5lb lower mark and with 10lb conditional on board. Definitely worthy of consideration.

Form: 4455-

Hartside^t,v¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 84| D

33/1

Six-time hurdles winner ideally suited by some give underfoot so any rain would be a bonus. Out of sorts in three starts this campaign and has a point to prove at present.

Form: 35-V047

Ridgeway Pearl¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 78

80/1

Modicum of hope on bumper debut for previous handler but has shown nothing in five starts since at long odds and is impossible to fancy on current evidence.

Form: 59-87U7

Modulus^v¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Kieron Edgar| T: P Winks| OR: 78| C| D

33/1

Won 4-5 in spring 2017 but it's been a tale of woe since and now 35lb lower and still not showing anything. Others make far more appeal.

Form: 7-V6076

Mr Mulliner^b¹⁰²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: P Henderson| OR: 71

25/1

One or two respectable efforts at a low level this term over hurdles and ran no sort of a race over fences last time. 1lb out of the handicap but is one of the more likely longshots on the race.

Forecasts

Kereman (13/8), Glimpse Of Gold (3/1), Collodi (4/1), Moayadd (6/1), Camaplu (10/1), Texan Nomad (12/1), Riviere Argentee (12/1), Cold Fusion (14/1), Secret Melody (16/1), Agent Westy (25/1), Mr Mulliner (25/1), Hartside (33/1), Modulus (33/1), Tunnel Creek (40/1), Ridgeway Pearl (80/1)

Most of these are exposed as being fairly moderate so KEREMAN might be worth chancing. He has shown a little ability, represents a top yard, and has been given a chance by the handicapper. Among a number of potential dangers are Collodi, Glimpse Of Gold, and Secret Melody, while both Riviere Argentee and Camaplu are not without a chance either.
