Sky Sports Racing On Virgin 535 Selling Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:37 | Winning time: 3m 58.90s

Sixties Secret⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 100| CD

7/1

Scored on her second start over hurdles in a C&D juvenile contest late last year but never really went on from that victory (suffered five defeats since). Never encountered conditions like this over hurdles; stable won this twice in last three years.

Form: 1P46-P7

Legend Of France²⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 98| CD

6/1

C&D winner when scoring an unlikely win after seven months off last December in soft conditions (won 6L). Produced a rather mixed bag of form after that and now returns from a fair absence. Still 6lb above her last winning mark but worthy of note.

Form: P81345-

Global Thrill^p,t¹⁹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 98| D

16/1

In the process of running a creditable race when falling at Newton Abbot earlier in the year; has been more miss than hit since winning at the same venue in May 2018. Slips 6lb below the mark he won off on that day; testing ground not in his favour.

Form: 57283-F

Iballisticvin³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cheesman⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 95

20/1

Some modest efforts on the Flat this year and although he's unexposed over hurdles his recent selling hurdle run didn't inspire much confidence. Fourth on that occasion he appeared to lack any spark; hard to construct a sound case for his chance.

Form: 4/4

Outrath^b²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: D A Jacob| T: J & S Best| OR: 94| D

9/2

0-10 over hurdles a couple of his recent effort have shown that he might be able to take a hand in this sphere. Performed with credit at Worcester in September before staying on to take third over C&D last time in soft conditions; note a market move.

Form: 540273

Goldslinger^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 94

9/2

Still only has one win to his name in this sphere (1-14); ran in a typical manner last time in selling company (showing promise, delivering little). Drops back to a bare 2m returned to a handicaps; on a decent mark if he could hold things together.

Form: 243364

Hi There Silver²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Joshua Moore| T: M Madgwick| OR: 94

40/1

Managed a belated Flat win having been time to get over a hurdles fall on the AW back in May but remains with little form in this sphere. Took a keen hold when last seen in a Fontwell novice (100-1); makes only limited appeal here.

Form: P590/F-0

Handsome Bob¹³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: N B King| OR: 89

8/1

Scored three times on the Flat with one of those wins coming over 1m5f on heavy ground. Shown very little over hurdles so far in novice/maiden company; drop in grade/into handicaps could do the trick but does need to jump better; market a good guide.

Form: 790

Flanagans Field^b⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 81| D

11/4

Unreliable individual who managed to end a lengthy losing run at Chepstow in March off a 6lb lower mark. Hasn't been able to match that form since off similar marks to today; failed to justify support last time at Ffos Las; looks vulnerable.

Form: 14-4235

Mrs Jack^t1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Ross Chapman| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 75

66/1

Looks of little account having been pulled up in three of her four hurdles starts the latest over 2m4f here in heavy going. Hopes now pinned on a drop in trip and a move into handicaps but that may well be clutching at straws.

Form: 9P-0PP

Forecasts

Flanagans Field (11/4), Outrath (9/2), Goldslinger (9/2), Legend Of France (6/1), Sixties Secret (7/1), Vicenzo Mio (8/1), Handsome Bob (8/1), Global Thrill (16/1), Iballisticvin (20/1), Hi There Silver (40/1), Mrs Jack (66/1)

Not a race to get over excited about or over involved with financially with very few solid profiles on show. Global Thrill would be the better of the Bernard Llewellyn pair in this it’s just a question of the ground with him having been time to get over his last time out fall. Sheena West has won this race twice in the last three years so her representative Sixties Secret should be respected despite her recent lull in form. Legend Of France can’t be discounted as she’s a C&D winner while Handsome Bob is the most fascinating runner if he can jump better; he has after all won on this sort of ground. OUTRATH is given the overall vote with any money for him likely to signal a positive display.
