Pony Racing Authority Graduates Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:51 | Winning time: 4m 6.30s

Detatched²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Godfrey| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 102| D

10/1

Irish-point winner who gained first hurdling success at Uttoxeter. Not in same form next 3 starts, including when pulled up over fences at Leicester last month. Each-way claims.

Form: 6-7175P

Kenyan Cowboy^p1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Max Kendrick| T: N B King| OR: 101

8/1

Point winner who reached the frame in a couple of 19.5f Chepstow maiden hurdles in the autumn but was unable to get competitive in handicaps the last twice. Plenty improvement needed.

Form: 794386

Bebraveforglory^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: C Brace| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 99

5/1

Signs of ability in first 3 starts over hurdles, but probably needed the run on handicap debut on the back of a wind operation/in a first-time tongue tie at Wetherby last month. Not ruled out.

Form: 3-44847

Ace Ventura²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Lorcan Williams| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 95

11/2

Fair 1m winner on Flat but failed to match that form in five runs over hurdles in 2019. Shaped as if retaining all ability after 16 months off when mid-field at Carlisle last month. More to come.

Form: 376/43-6

Chief Brody^p⁵⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Jones| T: G Harris| OR: 95| CD

9/1

Exeter scorer in October but 3 efforts after that were not so encouraging. However, got back on track when fourth of 12 there in January and merits consideration if building on that.

Form: 817874

Call His Bluff¹⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Chester Williams| T: H Chisman| OR: 89

50/1

Cut little ice over hurdles in Ireland and probably best watched on first start for new yard after 5 months off.

Form: 8-03F4P

Bizerta²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gregory| T: S Allwood| OR: 88

5/1

Fairly useful form when twice second from 3 starts on Flat in France in 2019, but yet to reach that level in a trio of novice hurdles this year, albeit not knocked. One to note on handicap bow.

Form: 604

Joint Account¹¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Hammond| T: D Frankland| OR: 86

80/1

Well held in bumpers and maiden/novice hurdles. Big step forward needed now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 40-P970

Out By Six¹¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: R Patrick| T: T Symonds| OR: 81

9/2

Just glimmers of ability to date and pulled up on handicap bow at Exeter in November. Should progress on first start for Tom Symonds.

Form: 59-695P

Regaby⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 80

14/1

Well held in a Doncaster bumper/3 hurdle runs. Makes handicap debut from lowly mark as a result and interesting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 0-89P

Sadma³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: N Lampard| OR: 78| D

40/1

Fair 2m hurdle winner at Hereford last term but well held all four starts this time round, including over fences. Now 3 lb below his last winning mark but needs to show more to feature.

Form: 33-9760

Enforcement^p⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Lily Pinchin| T: M Keighley| OR: 75| D

9/1

It's now 14 runs since last win in 2019, and he was never a factor at Hereford in December.

Form: P-23550

Forecasts

Out By Six (9/2), Bizerta (5/1), Bebraveforglory (5/1), Ace Ventura (11/2), Infiniti (7/1), Kenyan Cowboy (8/1), Enforcement (9/1), Chief Brody (9/1), Detatched (10/1), Mi Laddo (10/1), Regaby (14/1), Zarazena (14/1), Shanandoa (25/1), Sadma (40/1), Call His Bluff (50/1), Joint Account (80/1)

Many in with chances but preference is for MI LADDO, who has been in fine form on the all-weather this winter and can gain his first win over obstacles from this lowly mark. Bizerta hasn't shown much in a trio of novice hurdles this year but he's feared most on handicap debut judged on his French Flat form, ahead of Bebraveforglory and Out By Six.
