Sizing Tara^t¹¹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Harry Kimber⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 102| C

2/1

Off the mark at the seventh attempt over hurdles when winning by 13L over 2m1f on good-to-soft ground here earlier this month. Due to go up 13lb for that success and is likely to play a leading role with just a 7lb penalty to carry.

Form: P/36441

33/1

Placed over 2m4f at Kilbeggan (yielding-to-soft) for previous yard last month but finished well beaten over the same trip at Uttoxeter (good) on stable debut last time out. Interesting to see how he fares.

Form: 63U-346

8/1

First start back from wind surgery when finishing 9L second over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (good) just over a month ago. Visor worn for the first time that day replaced with cheekpieces worn previously on this occasion.

20/1

Stepped up on hurdles debut effort when finishing third in a C&D maiden hurdle on good-to-soft ground last time out. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 4-943

14/1

Returning from a break when beaten 12L into third in a 2m1f handicap hurdle on good-to-soft going last month. Winner has scored subsequently and he is an interesting runner in this event.

Form: 1189-P3

10/1

Successful here in July (2m1f, good) and running well in defeat since including when third over 2m1f at Sedgefield (good) last time out. Races off a mark 11lb higher than for that latest success.

Unsuspected Girl^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 98

14/1

Placed on both starts since wind surgery most recently when beaten 2¼L in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Worcester (good) earlier this month. Market support would be notable stepping up in trip on handicap debut.

Searching^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: R Johnson| T: G Harris| OR: 98

9/1

Good 6L second in a 16 runner contest over an extended 2m5f on good going here on stable debut three weeks ago. Disappointed on the Flat subsequently and has a top jockey in the saddle for his return to hurdling.

Form: 7390/2-2

Patsio^b,t¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: C Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: D Brace| OR: 98

16/1

Followed up a couple of decent second place finishes with a 12L fifth over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (good) earlier this month. Races off a mark 5lb higher than when winning at Ffos Las (2m, good) in June.

66/1

12 race maiden was beaten 47L on handicap debut over 2m1f here three weeks ago. Not written off just yet and market support would be a positive.

Form: 4-560

Rocket Ronnie^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 94| CD

12/1

Winner over C&D 12 months ago has finished held in both starts since returning from a break and is probably best watched off a mark 8lb higher than for that sole previous hurdles success.

Form: 1228-55

7/2

Ran well when finishing runner-up in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester (good) last time out. Promising conditional jockey in the saddle but likely more needed if he is to take this contest.

Form: 4P-9352

Forecasts

Sizing Tara (2/1), Shanksforamillion (7/2), Bobble Emerald (8/1), Searching (9/1), Ourmullion (10/1), Rocket Ronnie (12/1), Silver Quay (14/1), Unsuspected Girl (14/1), Patsio (16/1), Onboard (20/1), Pokari (20/1), Templier (25/1), Ishyaboi (33/1), Cool Artist (50/1), Black Noah (66/1)

SIZING TARA looks capable of defying top weight and a penalty to take this big field handicap hurdle. The selection was a winner here recently and she can get the better of Unsuspected Girl who is making her handicap debut in this contest. Third place can go the way of Searching who has a top jockey booked to ride and was placed on his most recent hurdles start.
