Heed Your Hunch At Betway Handicap

Off time: 13:32 | Winning time: 2m 28.54s

(8)

Aljalela⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 60

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f) 9 days ago, seeming unsuited by the heavy ground. Had shown promise previously and worth another chance on balance.

Form: 95-60

(2)

Forge Valley Lad^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S Donohoe| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 59

15/2

Winner at Windsor in July. 33/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 11 days ago, big race move in to contention not helping him see out the longer trip. Blinkers now reached for.

Form: 688190

(4)

O'Reilly's Pass³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 58| BF

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 11/4) 33 days ago, dropping away final 1f. Even longer trip not sure to suit on that evidence.

Form: 7854

(12)

Kashmirella²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 58

10/1

9/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 25 days ago, slowly away. Longer trip needs to bring about improvement.

Form: 77-5587

(11)

Volcano Bay^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 57| BF

6/1

Winner at Yarmouth in August. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in minor event here (10f, AW) 27 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Not one to write off.

Form: 542219

Donald Llewellyn¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 52

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Goodwood (16f, heavy) 10 days ago, looking unsuited by the conditions. This more suitable and another worthy of another chance.

Form: 7-767

(9)

Abound^b1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: L Wadham| OR: 52

7/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, eighth of 11 in minor event at Windsor (11.4f, good) 42 days ago. Blinkers/switch to handicaps needs to have a positive effect now.

Form: 988

(5)

Princess Siyouni¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: F Norton| T: M Quinn| OR: 49

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, creditable third of 10 in minor event at this course (10f, good) 12 days ago, well positioned. Each-way claims again on that evidence.

Form: 600-43

(3)

Herre Dittery^p²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: P Phelan| OR: 47

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fared no better than previously when sixth of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) in February. Hard to fancy on return/handicap bow.

Form: 096-6

(6)

Lightning Blue⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: S W Kelly| T: T R Gretton| OR: 46

33/1

16/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 54 days ago, merely closing up late. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Mick Channon. Others more persuasive.

Form: 0-69978

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 45

150/1

Forecasts

O'Reilly's Pass (10/3), Princess Siyouni (11/2), Aljalela (6/1), Volcano Bay (6/1), Abound (7/1), Forge Valley Lad (15/2), Donald Llewellyn (9/1), Kashmirella (10/1), Herre Dittery (28/1), Lightning Blue (33/1), Nadia's Spirit (125/1), Barboukha (150/1)

DONALD LLEWELLYN didn't go without promise in a trio of maidens at up to 12f and is best forgiven his handicap debut effort at Goodwood 10 days ago, the heavy ground a plausible excuse. This looks a more suitable assignment and he's worth another chance. Similar comments apply to Aljalela and she's respected, along with Volcano Bay.
