Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 13:44 | Winning time: 4m 5.77s

Constancio^b¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 128| CD

13/2

Looked better than ever when resuming winning ways at Plumpton last month. Followed that with a near miss at Huntingdon (15.8f), but a new personal-best will be needed off this career-high mark.

Form: 3-44212

Golden Town⁸⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 127| D

50/1

Raised his game when striking at Perth back from a break in July. Lost little caste in defeat in a 6-runner Sedgefield handicap (16.8f) next time and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 1137-12

Jamacho¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: W T Kennedy| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 127| D

100/1

Resumed in this sphere better than ever, completing a 4-timer in 2m Stratford handicap in September. His mark suffered as a consequence of that winning spree, though, and recent efforts not so good.

Form: 115487

Ashington³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: K Brogan⁽⁷⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 126

5/4

Dual novice winner last term and, fit from the Flat, he shaped well on reappearance in this sphere at Cheltenham (16.4f). Big player here with very capable conditional claiming 7 lb.

Form: 21132-3

Kannapolis²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: T Lawes| OR: 124

7/1

Flat winner who did the job well when opening his account at the fifth attempt in this sphere at Warwick (2m). However, good deal more will be needed now 11 lb higher in a tougher race.

Form: 3-2721

Lunar Jet²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: J Mackie| OR: 121

11/4

Runner-up in C&D novice events on final 2 starts in this sphere during 2018/19. Missed whole of last season, but in fine form on the Flat of late and very much of interest on handicap hurdle debut.

Form: U5522/

Skiddaw Valleys⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 120

33/1

Low-mileage hurdler who made a highly encouraging reappearance when runner-up at Southwell in August. Subsequent effort at Kelso represented a backward step, though.

Form: 22/15-28

Ocean Voyage³²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Dave Crosse| T: Ian Williams| OR: 118

150/1

Winner of a Cork maiden hurdle (2m) in March 2019, but offered little last season and probably best watched on debut for new yard.

Form: 51/U70P-

Mick Maestro³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 117

11/1

Bumper/hurdles winner for Tom George and placed in handicaps for Alan King during 2018/19. Encouraging third back from 21 months off on debut for another new yard at Carlisle (17.2f). Each-way shout.

Form: 34243/3

Radjash^t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Alain Cawley| T: D Carroll| OR: 105| BF

18/1

Improved since switched to handicaps in this sphere, crusing home when opening his account at Uttoxeter (15.8f) last month. Not disgraced over same C&D next time, but this is more demanding.

Form: 5-2F214

Forecasts

Ashington (5/4), Lunar Jet (11/4), Constancio (13/2), Kannapolis (7/1), Mick Maestro (11/1), Radjash (18/1), Skiddaw Valleys (33/1), Golden Town (50/1), Jamacho (100/1), Ocean Voyage (150/1)

Given that he was badly hampered by a faller 2 out, ASHINGTON did well to finish as close as he did when third in a competitive contest at Cheltenham last month. The 5-y-o is clearly on a workable mark and gets the nod ahead of Lunar Jet, who has won 3 on the bounce on the Flat in recent weeks and should be a force back in this sphere. Mick Maestro is best of the rest.
