From The Horses Mouth Podcast Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:32 | Winning time: 6m 53.26s

Ballymillsy⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 121

10/3

Shaped well in a very hot Kempton bumper last season and he's similarly showed plenty over hurdles, runner-up in a Huntingdon novice (19.6f) in December. Claims up significantly in trip.

Form: 4-362

Some Detail^b⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 120

7/1

Bumper winner who was placed on 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles last term (looking a thorough stayer). However, not scaled same heights over larger obstacles and return to timber needs to perk him up.

Form: 22-0854

Trixster^t1⁷²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 120| CWS

22/1

Three-time hurdles winner who was a good third at Hexham on sole start/chase debut last term. However, disappointing both starts over hurdles this season and wind op needs to have had positive effect.

Form: 274/3-63

De Young Warrior³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: J Scott| OR: 118

17/2

Runner-up in a bumper on sole outing for Gillian Boanas in 2018. Proved he has plenty to offer in trio of novice/maiden hurdles for new yard this winter and handicaps entitled to be more his bag now.

Form: 2/335

Ballymagroarty Boy^b1⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 118

16/1

Likeable type who returned to form with visor left off when 5 lengths third in a C&D handicap on New Year's Eve. Fancied to give it his best shot again in first-time blinkers.

Form: 2-42473

Ratfacemcdougall^b,t⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 118| D

16/1

Back on song in more severe headgear during second half of last year, career-best display in first-time blinkers at Hereford (25.5f) in December. 9 lb higher now and this is a tougher race.

Form: 752171

Rosmuc Relay^p1³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 117

33/1

Dual hurdles winner who left tame chase debut behind when runner-up at Hereford last March. However, proved disappointing both starts this term so bit to prove in cheekpieces back over timber.

Form: 1P/52-P7

Honest Exchange^p1³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 117

12/1

Dual Irish-point winner who turned in his best effort of the season when third on handicap debut at Taunton (23.9f) in November. Not so good at Wincanton (21.3f) in January, though (easy to back).

Form: 13-9336

Holly James^p⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 114

50/1

Bumper/hurdles winner but he has made an inauspicious start over fences this winter, beaten some way out when fourth of 6 at Sedgefield (19.3f) in December. On recovery mission back over hurdles.

Form: F72-PP4

Transpennine Star^v1⁶⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 113| BF| D

28/1

Resumed with a wide-margin success at Stratford in August. However, that was something of a standout effort this campaign, dropping away home turn at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in December. Visor reached for.

Form: P-15454

Hard To Forget^p1³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 112| D

50/1

Winner of back-to-back handicap chase events at around 25f last term. Yet to fire over larger obstacles so far this season but he is operating from much reduced mark back over timber. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 1U4-64P

Mr Washington^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: T Symonds| OR: 110| CD

10/3

Much improved for Tom Symonds this term and completed 4-timer with a gutsy display over C&D on New Year's Day, getting on top run-in. Unexposed as a stayer so there may be more to come.

Form: PP-1111

Crown Hill⁵⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 110| CD

15/2

Narrowly denied in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, heavy) in December, shaping best given his position relative to the winner. 4 lb higher now but possibilities with a repeat.

Form: 1/PP-P42

Woulduadamandeveit³⁶⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 96

22/1

Was a useful sort in bumpers but continues to underachieve over hurdles, weakening from 3 out at Fakenham (23.4f) when last seen 12 months ago.

Form: 76P/053-

Forecasts

Ballymillsy (10/3), Mr Washington (10/3), Some Detail (7/1), Crown Hill (15/2), De Young Warrior (17/2), Honest Exchange (12/1), Ballymagroarty Boy (16/1), Ratfacemcdougall (16/1), Woulduadamandeveit (22/1), Trixster (22/1), Transpennine Star (28/1), Rosmuc Relay (33/1), Hard To Forget (50/1), Holly James (50/1)

BALLYMILLSY has to concede weight all round but he shaped with plenty of promise with a view to tackling this longer trip when runner-up in a Huntingdon novice (19.6f) in December and the strong suspicion is there is more to come now handicapping. Mr Washington has been resurgent upon joining Tom Symonds, rattling off the 4-timer over C&D in December and he's a player, along with De Young Warrior.
