Stables Business Park Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 19:30 | Winning time: 4m 2.30s

Just No Risk²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 98

10/3

Made the frame in a couple of jumpers bumpers in February and latest effort at Ludlow was an improvement on what he previously showed over hurdles. Still, more needed on this handicap debut.

Gyllen²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: James Best| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 95

20/1

One-time smart performer on the Flat in France, but has offered little in 3 starts over hurdles and big step forwarded needed now making the switch to handicap company.

Form: 707

Manor Park^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 93

16/1

Winner at Market Rasen in November, but not in the same form since and others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 125496

Prince Percy^t,v³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 97

50/1

Didn't shape at all badly on hurdles debut at Market Rasen last summer, but has gone the wrong way since.

Form: 2PP0

Clearly Capable²³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-6| J: Nick Slatter⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 92

33/1

Winner of a 4-runner seller at Leicester last term, but it's been a struggle since and this 12-y-o looks vulnerable.

Form: 144-666

Karakoram^p,t⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 92| D

9/1

Fair 2m winning hurdler who also proved consistent last season. Not in the same form this time round, though, and he needs to bounce back in a big way.

Form: 8F7687

Getaman³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 84| BF

11/2

Dual point winner who was gambled-on for his handicap debut at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft), but emptied quickly in the home straight after leading at the third-last. This drop back in trip looks wise.

Form: P1/008-0

Numero Uno^p1⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 83

3/1

Ended last term with a good effort at Musselburgh. No show 3 starts so far this season, but one to note in the betting with cheekpieces enlisted on debut for a shrewd yard.

Form: 953-00P

Neck Or Nothing^p¹⁹⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-9| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Miss Sarah Robinson| OR: 81| D

200/1

Veteran who was well held both starts for new yard following a monster absence last year.

Form: PP56/68

Lambs Lane^p,t⁹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 81

50/1

Bumper winner in Ireland back in 2017, but he's 0-18 in this sphere and showed nothing in this headgear combination at Bangor when last seen in January.

Form: 7000-9P

Youvebrokenmydream^h³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Jay Tidball⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 80

12/1

Found just one too good on handicap debut at Worcester in September 2019, but efforts so far this season have been uninspiring.

Form: 52-F885

Shanandoa²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: D Brace| OR: 77| D

7/1

Clearly retains ability judged on recent efforts, runner-up at Chepstow prior to finishing sixth of 15 at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) where she wasn't knocked about. Well worth a second look.

Form: P/77026

Shadow's Girl^p¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 72| D

12/1

Successful off a higher mark at Chepstow last season and latest fourth over this C&D 13 days ago was a decent effort. Place possibilities.

Forecasts

Numero Uno (3/1), Just No Risk (10/3), Getaman (11/2), Shanandoa (7/1), Alberic (8/1), Karakoram (9/1), Youvebrokenmydream (12/1), Shadow's Girl (12/1), Magical Thomas (12/1), Manor Park (16/1), Gyllen (20/1), Clearly Capable (33/1), Lambs Lane (50/1), Prince Percy (50/1), Neck Or Nothing (200/1)

It'll be interesting to see which way both NUMERO UNO and Getaman go in the betting. The latter was backed off the boards on his comeback at Kelso and all appeared to be going to plan until he came to a grinding halt in the home straight. This drop back in trip may well help but Numero Uno is preferred in the hope that his shrewd new yard has him firing on all cylinders. Shanandoa also has claims.
