Racing TV Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: 5m 15.33s

Schnabel^p,t¹⁶⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Bryan Carver| T: M Sheppard| OR: 112| D

16/1

Dual hurdles winner for David Dennis and won twice over fences (for Tom Symonds) last year. However, pulled up at Taunton when last seen in October and bit to prove back hurdling.

Form: 23-211P

Zuckerberg¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Page Fuller| T: J Candlish| OR: 111

25/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France, but hasn't shown much since joining present yard and it's best to look elsewhere.

Form: 00P470

Shall We Go Now^p,t⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan| T: H Fry| OR: 110WS

11/1

Winner of 2m Taunton maiden hurdle last January, but he has offered precious little in 3 starts since going down the handicap route. Has undergone a second round of wind surgery.

Form: 2/19-P8P

Raven Court²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 110

20/1

Promise in novice hurdles, including when fourth of 18 at Doncaster in January, but hasn't made much of an impact switched to handicaps the last twice.

Form: 8/3-0476

Brecon Hill^b,t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Alexander Thorne| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 108| C

28/1

Not beaten far in a jumpers bumpers at Lingfield in February, but this season's efforts over fences have been poor and fared no better back in this sphere at Fakenham recently.

Form: 9BP746

Emma Lamb²⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 107| BF

14/1

Though still a maiden, she has found just one too good on each of her last 3 completed starts and the drying ground here is in her favour. However, she may need this on the back of an 8-month absence.

Form: 92P-22U

San Pedro De Senam^b,t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 106| CD

11/2

C&D winner off this mark during 2018/19 campaign. Missed majority of last season, but proved that ability remains when fourth of 13 at Newbury (20.5f, good) last time and he enters calculations.

Form: 283/B-64

Shanroe Tic Tec^b³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁶⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 104| BF| C

5/1

Over 2 years since he last hit the target, but several good efforts to his name this season, not least when chasing home Bavington Bob (winner again since) at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) last month.

Form: 052342

Rukwa²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 99| BF

6/5

Flat winner in December and runner-up at Wetherby back in this sphere following a break last month. Again found one too good at Newcastle (20.3f, good) on Saturday and will be a player if lining up.

Form: 368722

Legend Of France^h¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Rex Dingle| T: P Phelan| OR: 90

12/1

Shaped well when third over 2m here back from a 16-month layoff in February. Failed to build on that recently at Warwick, but that was a stronger race than this and going up in trip looks a good move.

Form: 345/F-34

Non-Runners

Very Intense²

Weight: 11-0| Age: 10

T: N B King J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Rukwa (6/5), Shanroe Tic Tec (5/1), San Pedro De Senam (11/2), Very Intense (6/1), Shall We Go Now (11/1), Legend Of France (12/1), Emma Lamb (14/1), Schnabel (16/1), Raven Court (20/1), Zuckerberg (25/1), Brecon Hill (28/1)

SHANROE TIC TEC is taken to deservedly get his head back in front having conceded first run when following a progressive type home at Carlisle last time. The faster ground here won't be an issue and he remains on a handy mark. This step up in trip promises to suit Legend of France, who is second choice ahead of San Pedro de Senam.
