William Hill Play Responsibly Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:45 | Winning time: 4m 14.7s

Altruism¹⁶²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 130| CD

10/3

Looked more straightforward than has been the case when cashing in on a career-low mark at Newcastle in March. Off since but represents local yard with a good record here.

Form: 72/4061-

Beeno^h³³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 126| CD

7/2

Veteran front runner who scored twice over C&D last summer. Fitter for reappearance when second of 5 at Perth and he's likely to give it another good shot back here.

Form: 1126-02

Flat To The Max^b²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: T J FitzGerald| OR: 125

20/1

On a tough mark on what he achieved over hurdles for Gordon Elliott in 2018. Fit from the Flat but others more persuasive.

Form: U916P/

Glan Y Gors^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 122| CD

9/4

Fairly useful Flat winner, completing hat-trick at Pontefract (10f) in June and well on top at the finish when opening hurdles account over C&D a fortnight ago, well on top at the finish.

Form: 459/32-1

The Steward^b¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Callum Bewley| T: James Moffatt| OR: 112| CD

11/4

Useful Flat winner and finally off the mark over hurdles in this race a year ago. Not far off that level when third back here recently, albeit no match for Glan Y Gors.

Form: 4154-53

Forecasts

Glan Y Gors (9/4), The Steward (11/4), Altruism (10/3), Beeno (7/2), Constancio (11/2), Golden Town (6/1), Iolani (8/1), Flat To The Max (20/1), Burdigala (33/1)

GLAN Y GORS, has enjoyed a very productive 2020, rattling off a hat-trick on the level, and the manner of his C&D win recently suggests further success over hurdles beckons. Constancio faces competition for the lead but still has to be feared on the back of an encouraging reappearance, with Altruism perhaps the pick of the Jimmy Moffatt trio.
