Greene King IPA Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:32 | Winning time: 6m 21.90s

Sunny Express⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Adrian Heskin| T: W Greatrex| OR: 112WS

9/1

Fair form over hurdles. Faded to finish a respectable third on Uttoxeter reappearance in September and has subsequently had wind surgery. Up in trip for handicap debut. Unexposed.

Form: 3/2582-3

Vinnie's Getaway²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 111

9/4

Bumper winner who has been placed on all 3 starts over hurdles, the latest when 4 lengths third on 2m Ludlow handicap debut/reappearance. This marked step up in trip now could suit him. Player.

Form: 1/2122-3

Great Hall¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Quinn| OR: 108

9/1

No impact in 2 starts on the Flat in recent months but better signs back hurdling when fourth of 17 at Huntingdon (2m) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 9/2552-4

Perfect Moment³⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Roberts| OR: 107| BF| CD

18/1

Pair of C&D wins to end 2019. Respectable fourth when bidding for hat-trick here in January but she will require a bit more to defy this mark back from 10 months off.

Form: F8/5114-

Stubborn Logic^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 104

11/2

Off the mark in Market Rasen handicap for Dr Richard Newland last summer. Better effort on return for new yard when third of 11 at Wincanton (21f) in cheekpieces (retained) 13 days ago. Considered.

Form: 9/F21-73

Cracker Jak²⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: M G Nolan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 103

15/2

Pair of wins in spring 2019. Unable to scale the same heights in 4 runs last season but has dropped to only 1 lb above last successful mark ahead of this return to action.

Form: 11/5475-

Skylanna Breeze^p³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 101

11/1

Off the mark in good style on return in 20.5f Southwell handicap hurdle om August but his 2 runs since have been a shade disappointing. Bounce back called for.

Form: 863-198

Buck Bravo^b,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 86| BF

8/1

Winning return at Newton Abbot last month and perhaps found the run coming too soon when only Ffos Las just 3 days later. Still looks on a workable mark, particularly with Jack Tudor taking 5 lb off.

Form: P/P18-17

Jonjoela³⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 82

7/1

Landed gamble on yard debut at Plumpton 12 months ago, making all for comfortable success. Not seen out since but shouldn't be underestimated, especially if market speaks in her favour again.

Form: 6P6361-

Realms Of Fire²⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁷⁾| T: C Fryer| OR: 79

125/1

Poor maiden hurdler for Dan Skelton. Fell in a couple of points at the start of the year. Can only be watched on stable debut/reappearance from 3 lb out of the weights.

Form: 88/85FF-

Forecasts

Vinnie's Getaway (9/4), Stubborn Logic (11/2), Jonjoela (7/1), Cracker Jak (15/2), Buck Bravo (8/1), Great Hall (9/1), Sunny Express (9/1), Skylanna Breeze (11/1), Perfect Moment (18/1), Realms Of Fire (125/1)

VINNIE'S GETAWAY isn't really bred to come into his own until tackling this sort of trip so the fact he's been able to show plenty of ability around 2m reflects well on him and he can strike for a stable which does so well here. Stubborn Logic is a threat having gone close at Wincanton, while Buck Bravo had an excuse last time and is also respected with Jack Tudor taking 5 lb off.
