Robinson Manufacturing Roof Truss Handicap Hurdle

Three Ways^t⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Hicks⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 130| D

14/1

Has some moderate efforts this spring to put behind him, although the latest at Doncaster was in better company than this. Might be happier with a bit of cut too, and all in all, not hard to look elsewhere for the winner.

Goodbye Dancer^t1³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 127

11/4

On a very fair mark these day, but hard to win with at the best of times and another that might prefer softer ground than he's likely to encounter today. Tries a tongue-tie for the first time, which may help, but risky.

For Good Measure²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 125

4/1

Reverts to hurdles after a short spell chasing (didn't take to it), looks regressive in the main but finished close enough to the winner at Exeter back in February to think he's not completely gone at the game yet. Has chances, with trip ideal.

Francky Du Berlais^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 123

10/3

Hard ride that has won a couple of times, threw the towel in a bit quickly at Plumpton last time and chance really depends on how cooperative he's feeling today. No guarantees this trip suits either.

Little Millie^b¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: N B King| OR: 118| BF

2/1

Twice a winner in the spring and she stays this trip well, bit below par when made favourite at Worcester last time but in some ways, she has far less question marks about her than a few, and could easily bounce back here.

Forecasts

Little Millie (2/1), Goodbye Dancer (11/4), Francky Du Berlais (10/3), For Good Measure (4/1), Three Ways (14/1)

None of these are bombproof, and small stakes are advised. LITTLE MILLIE looks sure to run her race, at least, and although she may not be the best handicapped in the race, she tries, and might be able to see them off. For Good Measure simply hasn't taken to fences and reverts to hurdles on a fair mark, so is a danger if putting his best foot forward. Both Three Ways and Goodbye Dancer might appreciate a drop of rain. Francky Du Berlais is hard work.
