Weatherbys TBA Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:15 | Winning time: 6m 24.1s

Carrolls Milan¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: C Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 128| C| D

11/4

On a good run of form recently and showed toughness with narrow success in 3m2f handicap hurdle at this track in April. Not seen since and may need the run but rider's 5lb claim could help.

Form: 422111-

Justatenner^h³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 126| CD

5/1

C&D winner who was third in this race last year. Won ell at Cartmel two starts ago but well held second back at that track (3m1f) last time out. Goes up another 1lb in the weights which is a concern.

Form: 27-4212

Kuraka^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: R Johnson| T: G Elliott| OR: 123

14/1

Not hit the heights over hurdles yet and showed no sign of improvement with 21L defeat at Bellewstown last time. Plenty more needed but hails from powerful yard.

Form: 16/60-87

Ryedale Racer¹³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Grant Cockburn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 120| BF

28/1

Last win came all the way back in 2016 and luck didn't change when a faller on latest start at Hexham (2m4f) in May. More needed but remains on a workable mark.

Form: 433/72-F

Niceandeasy^p¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Lucy Alexander| T: N W Alexander| OR: 119

6/1

Put an inauspicious start for this yard behind him when solid second behind Carrolls Milan in 3m2f hurdle at this track in April. Not seen since but form book suggests he doesn't need the run.

Form: 434362-

Arctic Gold¹³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 117| D

10/3

On a barren losing streak and has failed to take advantage of tumbling handicap mark, including 12L defeat at Worcester (2m7f) last time. Seems to have lost his way.

Form: 25570-5

Mighty Thunder^t,v1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Blair Campbell⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 115| C

9/2

Running with credit in handicap company so far, finishing third behind Carrolls Milan here in April before narrow second over C&D last time. Mark remains workable and has the scope to be involved.

Form: 25133-2

Rivabodiva^t¹⁷⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 114| D

40/1

Ayr second in March seems flattering and hasn't featured in four starts since, including 22L sixth in 2m6f Kelso handicap hurdle last time. Will need significant ease in the ground.

Forecasts

Carrolls Milan (11/4), Arctic Gold (10/3), Mighty Thunder (9/2), Putting Green (9/2), Justatenner (5/1), Niceandeasy (6/1), Kuraka (14/1), Ryedale Racer (28/1), Rivabodiva (40/1)

PUTTING GREEN has shown a strong aptitude for this track recently and looks to have finally got the hang of things in this sphere recently after some frustrating efforts. His flat run is expected to have sharpened him up and there could be significantly more improvement in him this season. Many horses can stake a place claim but Mighty Thunder remains on a likeable mark low in the weights while Justatenner has an obvious liking for this track and usually runs to his mark.
