newtonabbotracing.com Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:10 | Winning time: 6m 29.2s

Timoshenko^p,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 110

9/2

Fairly useful stayer on Flat who made winning hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m) in July. Hasn't built on that twice since but wouldn't be a shock if he gets back on the up now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 155

Sammylou^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁶⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 108| CD

10/3

C&D winner on return and has performed well here in defeat since, particularly when runner-up last month. Another prominent showing on cards.

Form: 5U6-142

Hattaab^v1²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 107

28/1

Found good run over hurdles coming to a halt at Bangor in July and never going on Fontwell chase debut since. Change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) needs to help spark revival.

Form: 25-337P

Aeglos²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: K Brogan⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 106

12/1

Very lightly raced nowadays and not easiest to assess, his latest remote third over hurdles at Fontwell no real step back in the right direction. Would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 34/7-7P3

My Lady Grey^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁸⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 105| CD

5/2

Different proposition since her stamina has been brought more into play, winning twice over C&D this summer. Further 8 lb rise may not prevent the hat-trick.

Form: 6682-11

Shantou Sunset²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 102

7/2

Bumper winner who showed improved form to get off the mark in Market Rasen handicap (20.5f) in July. Fair fourth at Fontwell since and this longer trip promises to see her in a better light.

Form: 7F0-P14

Uno Mas^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 92| D

11/1

Prolific winner over hurdles in 2018/19 but lost his way last season and has shown no signs of a resurgence in three runs over fences since the resumption.

Form: 757-96P

Watching Brief^p⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: C Brace| T: D Brace| OR: 83

20/1

Maiden who was never going when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) 46 days ago. Back up significantly in trip with cheekpieces replacing blinkers.

Form: 35P-348

Forecasts

My Lady Grey (5/2), Sammylou (10/3), Shantou Sunset (7/2), Timoshenko (9/2), Uno Mas (11/1), Aeglos (12/1), Watching Brief (20/1), Hattaab (28/1)

MY LADY GREY has been a different proposition since sent beyond 3m and can complete a C&D hat-trick. This increased stamina test shapes as if it'll play to the strengths of Shantou Sunset and she can provide the chief threat ahead of Sammylou who followed home the selection here last time.
