June Mary Caine Memorial Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:45 | Winning time: 6m 23.6s

Picture Painter^t,v¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 112| BF| CD

3/1

Victorious over C&D on good ground in July and returned from a short break with a 13L third over this C&D on good-to-soft going earlier this month. Raced from out of the handicap that day and is interesting off a 7lb lower mark.

Form: 430913

Sinakar^p,t⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 105

9/4

Winner of two of his last three starts including over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good) last time out. Carries a 7lb penalty for that victory and is a leading contender stepping up in distance.

Form: 353131

Gardiners Hill^t³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Williams| T: D A Rees| OR: 110| D

5/1

Returning to hurdles when finishing a promising third in a good-to-soft ground C&D contest a month ago. Raised 3lb for that effort and interesting to see if he can back that up.

Form: 2-41263

Guerrilla Tactics³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 108| D

6/1

Making his first appearance since last November when finishing a well beaten fifth over C&D here a month ago. Likely to have improved for the run and has a promising jockey booked to ride.

Form: 32174-5

Hot Ryan^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Hammond| T: D Pipe| OR: 106

7/1

Winner of her last two starts over hurdles including by 1¾L over 2m7f at Worcester (good) at the start of this month. Previously victorious over the same C&D and is upped in trip following a 7lb rise in the weights.

Form: 8-3P211

Balkinstown^t,v⁶¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 97

40/1

Dual hurdles winner but below form in three starts earlier this year including when pulled up over this C&D in July. Probably best watched on his return from a break.

Form: 413-05P

Rosserk Abbey^h²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: K Bishop| OR: 91

6/1

Decent effort in finishing 11L fourth in a 16 runner handicap hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good) on stable debut three weeks ago. Worth a check in the market stepping up in distance.

Forecasts

Sinakar (9/4), Picture Painter (3/1), Paddys Runner (4/1), Gardiners Hill (5/1), Guerrilla Tactics (6/1), Rosserk Abbey (6/1), Hot Ryan (7/1), Balkinstown (40/1)

PADDYS RUNNER has shown good form in two starts since joining this stable and he can defy top weight to make a winning return from a break in this conditional jockeys event. Sinakar was a winner recently and he can take second under a penalty while third place can go to Picture Painter who ran well off a higher mark here last time.
