Lara Telfer Reined In For Racing Welfare Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:37 | Winning time: 3m 37.78s

Pasley¹⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 120

18/1

Fairly useful winner at 14f on Flat but expensive to follow over hurdles. Has left Joseph O'Brien, but joined another top yard and blinkers are removed ahead of return from a break.

Form: 2223-56

Working Class^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 118

12/1

Pair of wins last autumn but he has never been this high in the weights and he didn't last long on reappearance at Bangor.

Form: 41251-P

El Borracho²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 117

9/4

Looked good when registering back-to-back victories at Southwell in August. Too free on handicap bow in this sphere at Stratford and then let down by jumping at Bangor.

Form: 321154

Guardia Top^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 116

17/2

Quickly developed in to a fairly useful hurdler last year, winning 3 times. Failed to match that level over fences but had been given a chance by the assessor back over timber.

Form: 327-443

Ardmayle²⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: A Stronge| OR: 116| BF

14/1

Ended 2018/19 on a high, running away with a handicap chase at Sandown. Restricted to just 4 runs last term, but does have a handy hurdles mark to exploit on return.

Form: 31/0652-

Kannapolis²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J McGrath| T: T Lawes| OR: 113

9/2

Fairly useful Flat performer (for Mick Easterby) and placed first 2 starts over hurdles in novice company. Seemingly failed to stay 19.8f 3 weeks ago and quickly back in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 3-27

Princess T^p1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 109

16/5

Has left previous form well behind since switched to handicaps, runner-up at Wincanton and Perth either side of Southwell breakthrough success in August. Cheekpieces reached for.

Form: 072-123

Janus^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 107

6/1

Form: P0/43

Derek Duval^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: James Best| T: J & S Best| OR: 100

40/1

Fair Flat winner for Stuart Williams who has showed aptitude as a hurdler. However, failed to complete final 2 starts last term and was always behind on recent reappearance.

Form: 540PP-0

High Wells²⁷

Weight: 10-8| Age: 6

T: D Killahena & G McPherson J: Kielan Woods

Forecasts

El Borracho (9/4), Princess T (16/5), Kannapolis (9/2), High Wells (5/1), Janus (6/1), Guardia Top (17/2), Working Class (12/1), Ardmayle (14/1), Pasley (18/1), Derek Duval (40/1)

Following a productive spell on the Flat this summer, HIGH WELLS is potentially well treated in this sphere, and back in trip having raced over 21.6f at Newton Abbot last time, is taken to prove that point. Princess T is the type to benefit from headgear and she's a threat, along with Guardia Top back hurdling.
